particularities
The season was played with only 14 teams after the ADO left the league at the end of the previous season .
After the 1949/50 season, profound changes began in the Mexican league structure. At the beginning of the 1950/51 season, a nationwide second division was launched for the first time , which in the first decades of its existence was called Segunda División and thus ensured that the first division was henceforth called Primera División .
In addition, at the end of the 1949/50 season, the traditional “ Spanish ” clubs España and Asturias left the league and have only been active in the Liga Española de Fútbol de México on an amateur basis since then . This step marked the end of the "foreign" clubs not only in the first division, but in all of Mexico's professional football .
The Moctezuma UD, sponsored by the Moctezuma Brewery , also left the league at the end of the season, so that the city of Orizaba , which was represented with two clubs in the league until the last season and is considered the cradle of football in Mexico, is no longer in the top division was.
