It’s been a dramatic week for Club América, Mexico’s most decorated football club. From a tough loss in the Campeón de Campeones final to a statement victory in Liga MX and major squad updates, Las Águilas continue to dominate headlines – for better or worse.
Here’s a complete look at what just unfolded, and what it means going forward.
Heartbreak in Campeón de Campeones
On July 20, Club América faced Toluca in the Campeón de Campeones match in California. Hopes were high, but Toluca stunned América with a 3–1 win, taking home the prestigious title.
Despite a goal from América’s standout winger Brian Rodríguez, it wasn’t enough. Defensive lapses and missed opportunities cost the team dearly – a reminder that even giants bleed when caught off guard.
SportSnip Analysis: The loss exposed gaps in América’s defensive structure, particularly when pressed high. Coach André Jardine will need to rethink tactical balance if the club wants to dominate on all fronts this season.
Bouncing Back in Style vs. Tijuana
Just days before the final, América gave fans something to cheer about with a 3–1 victory over Club Tijuana in Liga MX (July 16). Brian Rodríguez again impressed, scoring a goal in stoppage time to seal the win.
Key Takeaway: Despite the Campeón de Campeones setback, América’s league form shows resilience. They remain a serious title contender, particularly with their attack firing on all cylinders.
Squad Shake-Up: New Faces In, Fan Favorites Out?
The summer transfer window has brought both excitement and uncertainty for América supporters:
New Signings
Raúl Zúñiga (Colombian forward) – Promises to bring pace and power up front.
Isaías Violante, Alexis Gutiérrez, Ralph Orquín – Young, talented reinforcements.
Bruna Vilamala (from FC Barcelona Femení) – Joins Club América Femenil, bringing La Liga experience and serious goal-scoring credentials.
Departures
Chicote Calderón has returned to Necaxa.
Esteban Lozano moves to Puebla.
Rumors swirl around Brian Rodríguez potentially heading to Europe, though nothing is official yet.
SportSnip Insight: América appears to be building depth while preparing for key exits. It’s a smart strategy, but fans will hope top talent like Rodríguez stays for at least one more title push.
Adidas Returns as Official Kit Partner
Club América recently reunited with Adidas, unveiling fresh 2025-26 home and away kits. The new designs blend modern styling with classic flair – a visual reminder that América remains a brand of tradition and ambition.
Pro Tip for Fans: Branded merchandise from this Adidas drop is already trending online. Perfect time to update your kit collection!
Will América Sign Denis Bouanga?
One of the hottest rumors in Mexican football is América’s reported interest in LAFC’s Denis Bouanga. The Gabonese star would add immense attacking firepower, but club president Emilio Azcárraga has asked fans to be patient.
Our View: Bouanga would be a blockbuster signing, but with transfer fees and MLS negotiations involved, this one could go down to the wire.
Final Thoughts: What’s Next for América?
Club América is a team in transition – but also in evolution. They’ve shown resilience after tough moments, smart business in the transfer window, and ambition to compete globally.
If they can fix defensive weaknesses and retain key players, there’s no reason why Las Águilas can’t soar again in Liga MX and continental tournaments.
