Alternative Financing Strategies for the Professionalization and Self-Management of Sports in Mexico
Abstract
Sports in Mexico are evolving towards alternative financing methods to overcome their dependence on public funding. Models such as equity crowdfunding, fan tokens, and no-credit-check loans streamline access to capital. These tools democratize investment, allowing support through a simple bank deposit. This shift promotes transparency and self-management, professionalizing the industry in the face of current economic volatility.
