Why Club America Is a Big Deal
Club America is the most decorated club in Mexican soccer history, with a record 16 league titles. Las Aguilas became the first club to win three straight Liga MX championships in the short-tournament era, taking the 2023 Apertura, 2024 Clausura and 2024 Apertura titles, and they share the record for most Concacaf Champions Cup titles with seven, including back-to-back crowns in 2015 and 2016.
The home side brings its own history. Red Bull New York is one of the charter clubs of Major League Soccer and has played in the league since its first season in 1996. The club has won three MLS Supporters’ Shields (2013, 2015 and 2018) and two conference championships (2008 and 2024), and it reached the MLS Cup Playoffs in 15 straight seasons, an MLS record.
