The Academy eyes the continent’s premier contest as its stage and already recognizes the field it must beat. The taste of Libertadores glory lingers in the air, a dream that follows them as surely as the club colors themselves, a resonance that stretches back to the triumphs of 1967. Guided by Fernando Gago, the squad aims to push past seasons that showed promise but fell short of the knockout thresholds, reigniting a campaign that seeks continental validation after a series of participations without decisive breakthroughs.
Stepping into Group A, the team finds itself alongside Flamengo, the reigning continental champion, a formidable hurdle that tests their ambition from the outset. Joining them are Aucas from Ecuador and Ñublense from Chile, two sides with their own ambitions and distinct styles, ready to test the Academy’s resolve across a demanding series of fixtures.
