Market17 Aug 2026

Tijuana turn down Cruz Azul for Alejandro Gómez

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

No deal for Fernando Ordoñez at that price

Tijuana offered $1.7M; Tigres said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words at Tijuana training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mourad is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Alejandro Gómez in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Tijuana this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match15 Aug 2026

A bad afternoon for Tijuana against Pachuca

0‑2 to Pachuca, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Market17 Aug 2026

Gerardo Ochoa steps up from the Tijuana academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Gerardo Ochoa has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market17 Aug 2026

Tijuana promote Fernando Sanchez from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Fernando Sanchez has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Tijuana promote Jose Salcedo from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Jose Salcedo has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Too much change too quickly at Tijuana

8 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Market10 Aug 2026

Gerardo Herrera arrives at Tijuana in a $2.5M statement of intent

There comes a point where a club either backs its own ambition or admits it does not have any. Tijuana have paid $2.5M for Gerardo Herrera, which is the loudest way there is of saying which one it chose.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Tijuana bid $1.6M for Fernando Ordoñez

The offer went to Tigres this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

Tijuana go back to the board over Ángel Rico

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $117.5K — a club that wants Ángel Rico enough to be asked twice.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Ignacio Rivero stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Ignacio Rivero and Tijuana agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Tijuana

Mourad was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Adonis Preciado beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 21. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The dugout10 Aug 2026

Ignacio Rivero gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Gerardo Herrera is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market10 Aug 2026

Nobody at Tijuana has picked up the phone to José Antonio Rodríguez

24 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Squad3 Aug 2026

9 saves: José Antonio Rodríguez was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 9 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Unai Bilbao signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Unai Bilbao and Tijuana agree another 2 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Mourad in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Tijuana this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad3 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Tijuana

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Unai Bilbao was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match1 Aug 2026

Tijuana come up short against Club America

Club America left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Jackson Porozo

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Jackson Porozo, and the manager let it.

Nobody at Tijuana has picked up the phone to Unai Bilbao

24 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Manuel Araujo faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Manuel Araujo after 1‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Ignacio Rivero knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Ignacio Rivero trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
