Tigres Femenil's peculiar way of announcing Emma Watson and her relationship with the actress

Tigres' board of directors hopes to have magic for the Clausura 2026 tournament to repeat the Liga MX Femenil championship with the signing of Emma Watson, a player from Manchester United and namesake of the actress who plays the Harry Potter character, Hermione Granger. In true British saga style, the Amazonas announced the arrival of the Scot to their ranks with the characteristic dress of the school of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

After several days of negotiations, Tigres Femenil made official the incorporation of the midfielder, who arrives on loan and becomes a new reinforcement for the current campaign. Watson was professionally trained at Manchester United and played in the Women's Super League, one of the most competitive women's soccer leagues in the world. Her arrival represents an opportunity to add youth, European training and experience in high-level scenarios.

The magic Tigres Femenil expects from Emma Watson

The announcement of her signing was made with a special presentation, in which Tigres Femenil used an aesthetic inspired by the universe of Harry Potter, highlighting the player's surname with a visual narrative that quickly caught the attention of the fans. Emma Watson is capable of bringing dynamics, balance and competitiveness in the midfield to the team's sporting project.

For its part, Manchester United Women also issued a message after the deal was completed, detailing the terms of the move and wishing the player success in this new stage of her career. They say that even if you are the champion you should not relax, as Tigres Femenil is doing just the opposite, as once again the board went out to look for new players to remain the team to beat in Liga MX.

What has Emma Watson's football career been like?

Emma Watson was born in Edinburgh, Scotland on January 28, 2006 and has a good track record in Europe, especially in England, where she was with Manchester United, Everton and Crystal Palace. Watson came through the ranks at Rangers in her homeland before joining United, where she failed to establish herself, so she has been on loan at different clubs for the past few years, with Tigres where she will remain until the next semester.

Her arrival is key to give balance to the midfield, as Pedro Loza's squad is short in that area, as it mainly has offensive players who were adapted to that area. This is the third reinforcement for Tigres, joining Ilana Izquierdo (also a midfielder) and Mariza Nascimento (central defender) as the bets to keep Tigres as one of the protagonists, despite the complicated start of the tournament.
