Club America (Mexico) 2008 3rd kit
Club América, most commonly known as just América, is a professional Mexican football club playing in the Primera División. The team is one of the most popular and traditional football clubs in Mexico. América is the richest team in Mexico owned by Televisa (also owns Necaxa and San Luis) and the most successful team in CONCACAF tournaments, having won five Champion's Cups and one Giants Cup. América and Chivas share the distinction of being the most successful teams in league play - America with 10 professional championships, and Chivas with 11. The two also have a long-standing rivalry. Their meetings, which have become known as Clásicos are played at least twice a year and signal a national derby. America has won the last four Clásicos played in a row.
