Qualification

Once the 2006-07 season was ended, the clubs that participate in the InterLiga were defined:

2006-2007 Standings:

  • Pachuca won the Clausura 2007 title and cannot participate because they will be participating in CONCACAF Champions Cup 2008, Morelia has replaced them in the Interliga.
  • Guadalajara qualifies to the Copa Libertadores 2008 as México 1 because they won the Apertura 2006 title, so San Luis has taken their spot in the Interliga.

    • Group A

  • Due to Atlas and Toluca being equal in Wins, Loses, Goals For and Against and Points. The way they decided who qualified to the final round was by a flip of a coin, which was done by Bruno Marioni of Atlas with a 5 pesos coin.
