América was one of the teams that started the Primera División. Guadalajara and the club have been rivals for a long time because they are both the most successful and most popular teams in the country and the only ones that have never been demoted. El Sper Clásico is the moniker given to their games against each other. It is thought to be the biggest rivalry in Mexico and one of the biggest in the world. América also plays Cruz Azul and Club Universidad Nacional in games that are called “derbies.”

The success of Club America

Club América has won more titles in Mexican football than any other team. They have the following records to their name – 

  • 13 league titles
  • 6 Copa México titles
  • 6 Campeón de Campeones cups
  • 7 CONCACAF Champions Cup/Champions League titles
  • 2 Copa Interamericana cups
  • 1 CONCACAF Giants Cup. 

This is the most for a club from the CONCACAF region. The team also has a lot of other achievements to its name, such as being at the top of the all-time league table for wins and points, making the most playoff appearances, making the most finals appearances, and finishing second the most times, along with Cruz Azul. The IFFHS chose América as the best North American club of the first decade of the 21st century (2001–2011).

Stadium

The Estadio Azteca in Mexico City is where América plays its home games. The stadium was designed by the Mexican architect Pedro Ramrez Vázquez. It opened on May 29, 1966, with a tie game between América and Torino. Arlindo Dos Santos, also from Brazil, scored the first goal, and José Alves scored the second. The first kick was made by President of Mexico Gustavo Daz Ordaz. Moreover, FIFA President Sir Stanley Rous was there to see it.
