Mexico ceases financial assistance to its National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) players because of their lack of playing time.

According to The Equalizer, during the NWSL 2015, not a single Mexican player entered the game, not even for a minute. Mexico entered four players at the NWSL in 2015: Arianna Romero, Monica Ocampo, Veronica Perez and Bianca Sierra. However, all four did not receive some playing time during the game. Because of that, the country decided not to pay their players who will join the NWSL.

Veronica Perez, one of Mexico's best players, is said to have signed with the KIF Örebro, where Canadian forward Melissa Tancredi is also signed.

According to coach Leo Cuellar of Mexico, none of the NWSL coaches approached or contacted him regarding the state of their players. However, he is not blaming them but takes it as a cue to develop their players and make them fit for the NWSL.

He said, "The clubs are not at fault, I think we need to challenge our players to be on the level. Constantly, we have to start from zero again."

According to Remezcla, this doesn't mean that Mexico will also pull out its players from the league or disallow them from joining. What officials want is that players need to be good enough to get to the roster in order to reconsider such decision.

Mexico is a producer of quality soccer players, but with issues such as cutting funds that largely help them continue to excel, the question lies on where will their top players go. Cuellar also expressed his concern on where these players will find refuge where they can bring their talent and excel on it. With the Olympic qualifier coming in, Cuellar sees bleak chances that Mexican players will ever get a chance to play. Unlike Perez, who is already signed with another league, there are more Mexican players waiting for their time in the spotlight.

Europe is currently seen as the only option for Mexican players to display their talent and have better playing time. For the meantime, Mexico hasn't made any official statement regarding their options on issues such as funding and salaries for its other players.

The women's league in Mexico happens to be a developmental league instead of a professional league. The organization will be responsible in developing their youth players in time for the next recruitment.
