Cruz Azul Femenil football club opened its preseason with a 15-0 win over TEC de Monterrey at La Noria. The result lands while the squad is still being reshaped for Apertura 2026 and after recent departures have thinned the roster.
La Noria sets the tone
The scoreline was the clearest message of the day. Cruz Azul Femenil scored 15 times in its first preseason match for the new season, and the margin left no room for a slow start.
That first outing came against TEC de Monterrey, with the game played at La Noria. For a team working through preseason, the scale of the win gives the staff an early look at how quickly the group can turn preparation into production.
Departures change the picture
The 15-goal output arrives against a harder backdrop than the score alone suggests. In recent weeks, Cruz Azul Femenil has lost Leighnne Robe, Diana Salmorán, Lía Martínez, Niomi Grimaldo, Hanna Osorio, Aerial Chavarin, and Alejandría Godínez, seven players who are already gone from the squad.
Some of those departures have already strengthened other clubs in the tournament, so the preseason win doubles as a first check on how much the group can absorb while still chasing a bigger target. The club’s stated aim for Apertura 2026 is to reach the final, a step beyond recent Liguilla appearances.
Brenda Cerén and the open door
Brenda Cerén, Joselyn Solís, and Heidi Ruth are mentioned as possible additions, which keeps the roster picture fluid after the early exits. That matters because the size of the win does not erase the need to fill gaps left by departures; it only shows the team can score heavily with the pieces on hand.
The next marker comes when the women’s competition makes the official match calendar public next week. Until then, the practical read is simple: Cruz Azul Femenil has opened with a 15-0 burst, but the squad is still in motion, and Heidi Ruth is still only a possibility rather than a finished piece.
