SDFC CEO Tom Penn called the partnership, starting during his club’s inaugural year, “a groundbreaking opportunity to collaborate with one of the most historic clubs in Mexican football.”
Santiago Baños, Sport President of Club América, said the deal “will allow Club América to continue playing great games in the United States, while giving us the possibility of implementing more actions for the benefit of our loyal and broad fan base in that country.”
Club América, the three-time back-to-back Liga MX Champion, can boast of 16 titles, a record seven CONCACAF Champions Cup trophies, two Copas Interamericanas, one CONCACAF Giants Cup, six Copa MX crowns and seven Campeón de Campeones.
Club América has won more titles than any other team in Mexican football.
The June 21 match is included in 2025 SDFC season ticket memberships. Single-match tickets for SDFC matches in 2025 will go on sale in early January. The club’s first season begins Feb. 23 on the road against the defending MLS Cup champions, the Los Angeles Galaxy.
Additional details about the Club América partnership, along with the date for the 2027 match, will be announced at a later date.
