Cruz Azul, commonly known as La Máquina, stands among the clubs with the most Concacaf trophies in history.
Even after a long period without major silverware, the Blue Cross legacy remains one of the most successful stories in Mexican football. The club has accumulated numerous domestic and international trophies, cementing its status as a true giant in the MX league and a staple in Concacaf history.
