The concept of "Apertura" and "Clausura" were adopted in which year for Liga MX?

  • 1996

  • 1985

  • 2005

  • 2010

Answer

In 1996, the concept of "Apertura" and "Clausura" were adopted for the Mexican Primera División (today Liga MX). This was done to create a shorter, more competitive season and to help reduce the amount of time players were out of action. The Apertura tournament now runs from July to December, while the Clausura tournament runs from January to May.
