Antonio Mohamed will return to the Estadio Universitario on Friday, October 9, 2026, when Deportivo Toluca Fútbol Club visits Tigres in Jornada 11 of Liga MX. It is a familiar stage for the Toluca coach, but not a comfortable one: since 2011, Mohamed has gone to the Volcán 15 times as a coach and has only two wins there.
The rest of the record shows why the venue stands out. Mohamed's trips to Estadio Universitario have produced 7 draws and 6 losses, with 15 goals for and 22 against. In other words, the stadium has been more of a problem than a boost, even across different teams and different stages of his career.
A venue that has resisted him for years
The two wins in question came in separate chapters. In Apertura 2014, Mohamed beat Tigres' home team 0-2 with América. In Clausura 2016, he returned with Rayados and won 1-3 in the quarterfinals. Those results stand out because they have been so rare.
More recently, the pattern has tilted toward draws and defeats. In Clausura 2025, Mohamed took Toluca to a draw at Estadio Universitario in the semifinal. In Apertura 2025, the teams played another draw there in the final. Then in Clausura 2026, Mohamed drew 0-0 at the stadium and also suffered one loss there with Toluca.
That history helps explain why Friday's visit matters beyond the standings. Toluca enters the match leading Apertura 2026, while Tigres is 15th in the table, but the setting still gives this game a specific storyline: Mohamed trying to solve one of the clearest venue-specific droughts of his coaching career.
What comes next
The match is scheduled for Friday, October 9, 2026, at 21:00 hours centro de México. For Toluca, it is another chance to stay on track near the top of the table. For Mohamed, it is another attempt to leave the Estadio Universitario with a result that has been hard to find for more than 10 years.
