**Headline: Querétaro Faces Uncertain Liga MX Opener Against Tijuana Amid Ownership Transition, Roster Issues**

Querétaro’s Gallos Blancos face a challenging start to the Apertura 2025 Liga MX season as they visit Xolos de Tijuana tonight at Estadio Caliente. The match marks the start of the league’s return after a break, but Querétaro, celebrating its 75th anniversary, is plagued by roster problems and uncertainty surrounding its ownership.

The team, recently sold by Grupo Caliente to Mark Spiegel (though the sale is not yet finalized), traveled to Tijuana with a bare-bones squad of only 18 players. Multiple players have departed the club, including Josué Colman, Francisco Venegas and José Canale, while only José Hernández, Jesús Hernández and Luis Carlos Villegas have been added. Veteran players Pablo Barrera and Federico Lértora have yet to renew their contracts, further complicating matters.

Head Coach Benjamín Mora will have to make do with limited resources as the club navigates this transition period. Without immediate player acquisitions – potentially through free agents or special cases before the September deadline – the season could be a write-off for the Gallos Blancos.

The game against Tijuana promises to be a tough test for a Querétaro side grappling with both on-field and off-field challenges.
