The annoyance of Club España due to the delay in the start of the tournament because the National Team held several friendly matches touring Chile and Peru in August 1930 after its participation in FIFA WC 1930 held in Montevideo. 2. The hiring of the Spanish player Gaspar Rubio by Club España, Rubio had defected of Real Madrid to play first in Juventud Asturiana (team of Cuba), Real Madrid raised a protest against FIFA; FIFA declared the player in absentia and threatened to sanction the federation that decided to hire him. The Mexican Federation urged Club España to comply with the FIFA notification; nevertheless, Club España refused generating a conflict between the Federation and the League; There are contradictory versions in this regard, because while some say that the federation hid and did not notify the Club of the FIFA notification in time others assure that the notice arrived out of time. As it was, the situation generated divisions within the league with some teams that supported Club España and others that requested their disaffiliation for disobedience. 3. While the "Juegos de la Revolución" were playing, Asturias, supported by Atlante, Marte, Germania and the Club Mexico requested permission to remodel the "Parque Asturias" which was in deplorable conditions, Necaxa and España protest since they discover that apparently this was a part of a plan that sought to build a new stadium owned by the federation where the league tournament would be played exclusively and that left out the Parque España and Parque Necaxa, these teams that would be losing important income from the rental of your property. These concerns were not new, since from previous months these teams had expressed their disagreement by having to pay rent for the use of the fields of España and Necaxa, the idea of ??a unique stadium owned by the federation sought that no team had to pay rent to any other team. At the end of December the schismatic teams created the "Federación del Centro" inviting Alvarado and Toluca, this new federation sought to have the recognition of FIFA; However, FIFA continued supporting "Federación Mexicana de Foot-ball". On the other hand, the so-called "Grupo de los cinco" (Asturias, Germania, Atlante, Marte and Club Mexico) that remained adhered to "Federación Mexicana" decided to incorporate teams Leones and Sporting and form a new league tournament. In order to reaffirm their union, on Sunday, January 11 they decide to change the name of Parque Asturias and rename it as "Campo Alianza". While the teams that will be part of the leagues are defined, friendly meetings take place on both sides as well as they decide to bring the South American teams Vélez Sarsfield and the Bellavista of Uruguay to Mexico, the latter was practically the Uruguayan team that had won the previous year the First World Cup. On Tuesday, July 7, 1931, after both sides had suffered severe economic losses, they finally reached preliminary agreements that led to the creation of "Federación Mexicana del Centro de Futbol Asociación" within which the "Liga Mayor del Distrito Federal" was integrated into which all the teams of "Primera Fuerza" were affiliated with. Club España which had internal problems decided not enter to the new league same as Club México. Leones OP and Sporting joined the league after finish in second and third place in a promotion tournament called as "Pre campeonato".
