The Estadio Universitario opened its doors on Wednesday to 11,131 fans who had the chance to experience an inaugural joint training session between Tigres Men’s and Tigres Femenil – a historic event for Mexican football.

The doors of the “Vólcan” opened at 7:45 p.m., and thousands of “Incomparables” arrived to the stands ready to chant for their favorite players. Both teams went out to the field together, wearing our new home and away Adidas uniforms.

Seven Soccer tennis stations were positioned throughout the field as players took their places to each station. They took advantage of the opportunities they had to show off and the crowd responded with warm applause, flags waving and sang the traditional chants that can be heard in the home games.

We witnessed the magic of Belén Cruz and Florian Thauvin. They created a series of plays that made everyone jump up from their seats with a combination of “taquito,” “rabona,” and Nahuel Guzmán’s header, reenacting the goal that took us to the Concacaf title.

Mia Fishel, Diego Reyes, Miriam García, Nico López, and others showed off on the opposite side of the court and won. Both the teams that won were wearing the new launched away kit.

The night’s highlight included seeing Miguel Herrera and Carmelina Moscato as referees. The Canadian called a penalty, which Liliana Mercado and ‘Pollito’ Cruz took the penalty kick a la Leo Messi.

After the training, Nahuel, André-Pierre Gignac, and ‘Sully’ Mercado gave a few words, honoring their commitments to the Club, and said goodbye in the company of the players and technical staff, taking a lap through the stadium to thank all the fans.
