In a vibrant display of support for the Liga MX team Necaxa, actress Eva Longoria showcased her dedication by attending the club's recent match against Querétaro at Estadio Victoria. The match, held on Friday, March 28, 2025, saw Longoria not only in attendance but also actively engaging with the team, further solidifying her status as a passionate investor and supporter.
Longoria, who is part of the Tyles-Porter investment group that owns 49 percent of Necaxa, was seen celebrating from the stands as the team secured a 2-0 victory. This win is crucial for the team, which is coached by Nicolás Larcamón and currently sits in sixth place in the league standings with 21 points from seven wins and five losses.
Before the match, Longoria interacted with players and staff, inviting fans to join her in supporting the team. She even posted a video on the club's social media account, saying, "Hola Rayos, nos vemos en el Estadio Victoria hoy," which translates to, "Hello Rays, see you at Estadio Victoria today." Her enthusiasm was palpable as she donned the team’s uniform and mingled with director José Hanan.
During an interview promoting her new film, 'Alexander y un viaje terrible, horrible, malo... ¡muy malo!', Longoria expressed her love for the team, stating that her favorite player is captain Alexis Peña. She also humorously suggested that if she could sign any global star, it would be Kylian Mbappé, joking about the competition with Monterrey, who recently signed Sergio Ramos.
As the match kicked off, Longoria was spotted in the VIP box alongside actor Rob McElhenney, another investor in the club. The pair cheered as Peña scored the first goal, which set the tone for the rest of the game. Longoria's excitement was evident as she celebrated the goal, demonstrating her deep connection to the club and its players.
On the field, the match was equally thrilling. Necaxa's performance against Querétaro was marked by strong teamwork and strategic play, leading to their victory. The team has shown significant improvement under Larcamón, and this latest win keeps their playoff hopes alive as they aim for a direct qualification to the liguilla.
However, not all news was positive for Necaxa. Diber Cambindo, the team's leading scorer with 11 goals in 12 matches, was unable to participate due to a head injury sustained in the previous match against León. Cambindo is expected to be out for approximately a month following a diagnosis of a fractured frontal sinus of the skull, which raises concerns about the team's offensive strategy in his absence.
Despite this setback, the atmosphere at Estadio Victoria was electric. Longoria's presence was a significant morale booster for both players and fans alike. After the match, she took the time to congratulate Larcamón on the team's performance, stating, "Muy divertido. ¡Fuerza Rayos!" which means "Very fun. Go Rays!" Her enthusiasm and support resonate with the fans and players, highlighting the importance of community in sports.
The victory over Querétaro not only adds three points to Necaxa's tally but also reinforces the bond between the team and its investors, particularly Longoria, who has been a vocal advocate for the club. As the season progresses, her active involvement and passion for the team may play a vital role in attracting more fans and potentially new investments.
Looking ahead, Necaxa aims to build on this momentum as they prepare for their next matches in the Clausura 2025. With Longoria and other prominent investors backing the team, hopes are high for a successful run as they strive to secure a spot in the playoffs. Fans are eager to see how the team adapts without Cambindo and whether they can maintain their current form.
Overall, Eva Longoria's visit and support for Necaxa exemplify the growing intersection of sports and celebrity culture, where high-profile investors contribute not only financially but also emotionally to their teams. As the league continues, all eyes will be on Necaxa to see how they navigate the challenges ahead while keeping the spirit of their supporters alive.
