Liga MX has officially confirmed the rescheduling of the much-anticipated match between FC Juárez and Querétaro, originally set for Saturday, April 19, 2025. Due to unforeseen circumstances, specifically weather-related issues, the match will now take place on Sunday, April 20, 2025, at the Estadio Olímpico Benito Juárez.
The Querétaro team was unable to travel to Ciudad Juárez on Friday, April 18, due to a sandstorm and strong gusts of wind that made travel impossible. In a statement, Liga MX explained, "The decision was made as a result of the weather conditions in Ciudad Juárez, where a sandstorm and strong gusts of wind have prevented the timely transfer of the Gallos Blancos team to the city." Both clubs reached an agreement to postpone the match, although the exact kickoff time is still to be announced.
This match is crucial for FC Juárez, who are aiming to improve their position in the General Table. Currently, they have secured a spot in the Play-In, but a victory could elevate them to eighth place, provided that Monterrey either ties or loses their match. The Bravos de Juárez, managed by Martín Varini, are coming off a 2-2 draw against Necaxa in their last outing, and they are keen to finish the regular phase of the Clausura 2025 on a high note.
On the other hand, Querétaro's aspirations for the season have dwindled significantly. After a recent defeat to Atlas at La Corregidora, where they lost 1-2, the team, led by coach Benjamín Mora, is no longer in contention for playoff spots. Even if they win against Juárez, their maximum points tally would only reach 20, equaling that of Chivas, who sit in 11th place.
As both teams prepare for this rescheduled match, fans are eager to see how the Bravos will capitalize on their home advantage at the Estadio Olímpico Benito Juárez. This will be the second consecutive home game for FC Juárez, and they are determined to secure a victory to bolster their playoff positioning.
The atmosphere is expected to be electric as the Bravos take the field against the Gallos Blancos, with both teams having something significant to play for, albeit for different reasons. FC Juárez is looking to solidify their playoff chances, while Querétaro is simply aiming to finish the season on a positive note.
Fans can catch the action live on Tubi, with kickoff scheduled for 17:00 (Mexico City time) on Sunday. This matchup not only marks the end of the regular phase for both teams but also highlights the competitive spirit of Liga MX as teams battle for positioning in the playoffs.
With the stakes high and the rivalry palpable, this rescheduled match promises to be an exciting conclusion to the regular season. Will FC Juárez capitalize on their home advantage, or can Querétaro pull off a surprise victory? Only time will tell as both teams gear up for this pivotal showdown.
