This Sunday, June 29, 2025, the final of the Copa por el Bienestar will take place, pitting Chivas against Mineros de Zacatecas at the Estadio Carlos Vega Villalba. The match is set to begin at 18:30 hours, Mexico City time. While there will be no traditional television broadcast, fans can watch the match live online via TUBI, or follow along with live updates on MARCA MX.
Chivas, coached by Gabriel Milito, is entering this final on a high note after a convincing 3-1 victory over Santos Laguna in the semifinals, highlighted by a standout performance from Cade Cowell, who scored two goals. Meanwhile, Mineros advanced after a tense semifinal against Cruz Azul, ending in a 2-2 draw and subsequently winning in a penalty shootout.
Historically, Chivas and Mineros recently faced off in December during the pre-season for the Clausura 2025, concluding the game in a goalless draw. Prior meetings have mostly occurred during the Copa MX, with Chivas winning both encounters in the Apertura 2015 group stage.
This match signifies another opportunity for Chivas to claim a title in pre-season, as they previously triumphed against León in the Copa Morelos just a week ago. With the Apertura 2025 season approaching, Milito is keen on solidifying his team’s performance and strategy.
The excitement surrounding the Copa por el Bienestar final captures the passion of football in Mexico and showcases the developing talent of both teams as they gear up for the upcoming season.
