The decision to remove them from the Club World Cup is a costly one for Leon, who along with other clubs from the CONCACAF region were due to receive a $9 million fee from FIFA for participation in the group stage.

The article from Firstpost discusses the disqualification of Mexican club León from the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup due to a violation of FIFA's rules. León was set to participate in the tournament after winning the CONCACAF Champions Cup, but they were removed because they fielded an ineligible player, Fidel Ambriz, during their match against LAFC in the final. Ambriz was supposed to be serving a suspension from a previous red card in the semifinals, but due to an oversight by León's management, he played in the final. This breach of regulations led to León's disqualification, and as a result, the United States' representative, Columbus Crew, will take León's place in the tournament. The incident has sparked discussions on the importance of administrative diligence in football clubs.
