The club known as America—often called Club América by fans in Mexico and around North America—stands among the most storied franchises in Liga MX history. Its pursuit of a fourteenth star would elevate its status, placing it two titles clear of its fiercest domestic rival, Chivas, which remains on twelve. This enduring rivalry shapes every campaign and fuels a relentless chase for glory that resonates with supporters from Canada to the United States and beyond.
In their most recent championship clash, the Eagles encountered Monterrey in the opening series of the 2019 season. Monterrey, a formidable foe that earned its fifth star that same year, proved to be a stern test. The Rayados secured a 4-2 victory over a Azulcrema side that squandered key opportunities on both legs. The result underscored the margin between triumph and setback in a league crowded with talent and pressure.
As with any Liga MX tournament, the Eagles faced an implicit mandate: reach the final and contend for the title. In the Closure 2022 tournament, America managed to sneak into the Liguilla, keeping alive the dream of embroidering another star on their shield within that season. The path to the championship is rarely straightforward, but the club’s legacy is built on consistency, resilience, and a never-say-die attitude that speaks to fans across North America. [Goal]
