Querétaro is one of the teams that have had the most ups and downs in the Liga MX Clausura 2026 in an attempt to move out of the last positions in the table and avoid fines in the coefficient table. With Esteban 'Chino' González as head coach, after the departure of Benjamín Mora, who failed to qualify the team for the Play-In of the Apertura 2025, they will try to reverse the bad results and return to a Liguilla for the first time since the Clausura 2024, when they played Play-In. Now, with the signing of Mexican footballer Alex Alcalá, they put their hopes on the legs of this 20-year-old player who arrives from the City Football Group; that is, from the Manchester City academy in the Premier League of England. With the academy of the Cityzens, Alex Alcalá barely played eight games and scored one goal. His last official game was with the Sub-18 team in mid-May 2024, little activity compared to the participation he had in the LA Galaxy's youth teams, where he stood out. Querétaro and Alex Alcalá will start the Clausura 2026 of the Liga MX on Sunday, January 11, in a game against Pumas of the UNAM as part of the First Round. As locals, they will play on Wednesday, January 14, against Xolos of Tijuana as part of the first Double Date of the tournament.
