Toluca confirms Fede Viñas signing for 2026 Apertura
Uruguayan striker Federico Viñas is the new signing for Toluca in the 2026 Apertura tournament, the club announced on Thursday. The 28-year-old forward, coming from Real Oviedo, joins to strengthen the attack of the Diablos, who currently sit 7th in Liga MX with 3 points (1 win, 0 draws, 1 loss) after two matches.
Who is Fede Viñas and what experience does he bring?
Viñas, who played in Mexican football between 2019 and 2024, was the top scorer with León in the Clausura 2024. With experience in the Uruguayan national team, the forward stands out for his aerial play and ability to play with his back to goal. At Oviedo, he scored 9 goals in 33 games last season.
Why is this important for Toluca?
The team aims to regain its best level after losing the Campeón de Campeones title to Cruz Azul. Viñas will join Paulinho, the league's top scorer in the last two years, forming a lethal attacking duo. Additionally, the Uruguayan will reunite with his compatriots Bruno Méndez and Federico Pereira, defenders on the team.
What's next for Toluca and Viñas?
Next Sunday, Toluca will host Necaxa (4th in the table) at their stadium, looking to improve their record of 3 wins, 0 draws, and 1 loss in the last four games. Viñas will debut in a team that aims to be a protagonist in the tournament, after an irregular start with a loss to Pumas UNAM (1-2) on July 22.
