TEgress’ board is hoping for the magic of replicating their Liga MX Femenil victory at the Clausura 2026 by signing Manchester United player and namesake of the actress who plays Harry Potter character Hermione Granger, Emma Watson. In true British storytelling style, the Amazons donned the distinctive costumes of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to announce the arrival of the Scots into their ranks.
After several days of negotiations, Tigres Femenil officially announced the arrival of the midfielder, who will arrive on loan and become their new addition for this season. Watson trained professionally at Manchester United and played in the Women’s Super League, one of the most competitive women’s football leagues in the world. Her arrival means an opportunity for youth, training in Europe and additional experience in high-level scenarios.
The magic that Tigress Femenil expects from Emma Watson
The announcement of her contract was made with a special presentation, with Tigre Femenil using an aesthetic inspired by the world of Harry Potter and highlighting the player’s last name in the visual narrative, which immediately caught the attention of fans. Emma Watson can bring midfield dynamics, balance and competitiveness to the team’s sporting project.
Meanwhile, Manchester United Women also released a message after completing the deal, detailing the terms of the transfer and wishing the player every success in this new phase of his career. Their argument is that even if you’re a champion, you shouldn’t let your guard down. Tigress Femenil does the opposite. The board began looking for new players to continue being a team that can win in Liga MX once again.
What was Emma Watson’s soccer career like?
Emma Watson was born on January 28, 2006 in Edinburgh, Scotland and has had an outstanding career in Europe, particularly in England, where she played for Manchester United, Everton and Crystal Palace. Watson joined United from his native Rangers, but was unable to establish himself there and has spent the last few years on loan at other clubs, and will remain with Tigres until next term.
Her arrival is key to rebalancing the midfield, as Pedro Rosa’s side lacks a core of attacking players who are adapted to that area. This is the third reinforcement for Tigres, with the addition of Ilana Izquierdo (also a midfielder) and Mariza Nascimento (central defender) to keep Tigres among the protagonists despite a mixed start to the tournament.
