Team Info: Club America, most commonly known as just Aguilas del America, is a Mexican football club playing in the Primera Division. America is owned by Emilio Azcarraga, who owns Televisa, making it the richest club in Mexico. America and Chivas share the distinction of being the two most successful teams in league play - America with 10 professional championships, and Chivas with 11. America and Chivas have a long-standing rivalry. Their meetings, which have become known as Clasicos, are played at least twice a year and signal a national derby. They are the only two clubs to have been in the First Division from the very beginning, and never having been relegated to the league's Second Division. Their club colors have been yellow and blue since the team was founded. The team mascot is the eagle, is flown around the stadium on the half-time break every match. |
