Club Tijuana Femenil Scouting Report 2024/25: Strengths & What Must Change

For Club Tijuana Femenil, the 2024/25 Liga MX Femenil campaign is all about redemption.

They missed out on the 2023/24 Clausura tournament Liguilla (play-off) stages after picking up just six wins from their 17 matches, so they are targeting a return to that part of the season this time around.

When looking at the current standings in the ongoing Apertura campaign, it does appear as though they are on track to meet that goal.

They sit seventh at the time of writing, level on points with eighth-placed Querétaro Femenil and a point ahead of Atlas Femenil in ninth.

Some significant issues in their play are currently holding them back and hindering their prospects of remaining above the dotted line.

In particular, their defending has left a lot to be desired at times, and it is one key reason that they have been very inconsistent, having won five and lost four.

With that in mind, this tactical analysis will take a closer look at Club Tijuana’s game, highlighting the positives to see what they can be pleased about at this early stage and where they need to focus their efforts to ensure that they don’t miss out on the playoffs for a second consecutive tournament.

As mentioned, the attacking side of things has been largely positive for Tijuana Femenil, with them showing plenty of confidence and having a clear game plan whenever they enter the field.

As a result, they have generally proven to be a test for their opponents, with them netting 23 times so far (an average of 2.3 goals per game) and only failing to find the back of the net on two occasions in the Apertura.

What has made that possible is head coach Juan Romos desire to keep things simple around the field.

Tijuana’s tactics are not based on complex principles but instead revolve around players executing the basics correctly and connecting with each other around the field.
