LINE-UP LIST
This is the starting lineup that the América Eagles will send to the Hidalgo Stadium to face the Pachuca Tuzos in the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup semifinals.
WHY WOULD THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS AFFECT THE FINAL?
Although the match, if held in Mexico, would take place after the polls close (at 6:00 p.m. according to the schedule), the country's security attention would be completely focused on that issue. This would imply that there would be no margin to set up a special security device for the event, nor for possible fan celebrations in case the home team were to win.
COULD THE DATE OF THE FINAL BE MOVED?
In the event that a Mexican team reaches the final of the CONCACAF tournament, the body will be at the crossroads of either adjusting the date of the match or moving the match to an alternative venue outside of Mexico. CONCACAF will have approximately one month to make this decision, as once the semifinals of the tournament are concluded, it will have the opportunity to define how to address this situation.
THE MOST WINNINGEST
The history of the CONCACAF Champions Cup is largely marked by Mexico's dominance, with an impressive total of 38 titles over the course of its participation. Among them, America's 7 championships stand out, followed closely by Cruz Azul's 6, as well as the 5 of Rayados and Pachuca. Other Mexican teams that have lifted the trophy include Chivas, Puebla, León, Tigres, Toluca and Atlante. However, the second country with the most titles in this tournament is Costa Rica, with a total of 3, of which Saprissa, the most successful team in its league, has contributed 3 of them.
ANOTHER PRIZE ON TOP OF THE MONEY
The team that wins the current edition of the Concachampions will have the honor of competing in the 2025 Club World Cup. This tournament will be held in the United States under a new format that will include the participation of 32 teams. So far, Monterrey, Seattle Sounders and Leon have already secured their qualification representing the CONCACAF zone.
TWO REMAINING TICKETS
The last two tickets will be awarded to the teams that play in the Final of the Clausura 2024. In the event that any of the four clubs that have already qualified reach the Final, the places will go to the teams with the next highest number of points in the year. In this case, those teams are Pumas, with 55 points, and Toluca, with 53 points.
WILL BE IN CONCACAF CHAMPIONS CUP 2025
Fernando Gago's Guadalajara secured its qualification as the second Liga MX team with the most points in the annual table, excluding América and Tigres, who secured their ticket by being the Apertura 2023 champion and runner-up, respectively.
Rayados was the first club to secure its ticket by accumulating the most points in the Apertura 2023 and Clausura 2024.
JUICY PRIZE
In previous editions of CONCACAF's main club tournament, the prize for the champion was only US$500,000, an amount notably lower than the prizes offered in other tournaments around the world. However, for the 2024 edition, CONCACAF has opted to change this situation by significantly increasing the prize money. The winning team of this year's Concachampions will receive the sum of US$5 million in distributions and prizes, which marks a substantial increase over previous years.
WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE GRAND FINAL
The grand final of the CONCACAF tournament will take place on June 2. However, the participating teams and the venue have not yet been confirmed. Mexico cannot be considered as a venue due to the federal elections scheduled for that day.
THE WAIT IS OVER
The wait for the CONCACAF Champions Cup is over, the best action of the best club-level tournament in North America is back with the best goals, the best plays, the best players and the best controversies on the lawns of the North American confederation.

Watch out for this América player:
For this match, the player to watch will be center forward and national team player; Henry Martin. América's current striker has been a key player in the victories obtained during the season, helping to retain possession of the ball and having a great ability to distribute it in the opponent's field, also, his great right foot is a latent danger for all goalkeepers, so he will be important to get the victory in favor of the Eagles.
Last America line up:
Ó. Jiménez; L. Fuentes, N. Araujo, R. Juárez, K. Álvarez; S. Naveda, R. Sánchez; S. Reyes, Á. Fidalgo, J. Dilrosun; J. Quiñones.
Watch out for this Pachuca player:
In this match, we'll need to keep a close eye on Pachuca's goalkeeper, Carlos Moreno. The Mexican not only serves as a solid last line of defense but also provides security between the goalposts for the Tuzos. Furthermore, his outstanding performances have often earned three points for his team.
Last Pachuca line up:
C. Moreno; V. Rodriguez, S. Barreto, J. Berlanga, L. Rodríguez; E. Montiel, P. Pedraza; A. Bautista, R. De la Rosa, A. Dominguez; A. Aguayo Castillo.
The historical record of clashes
América and Pachuca have faced each other 68 times, 20 wins for the Azulcremas, 15 draws, 27 wins for the Tuzas, with the scales tipping heavily in favor of the team from La Bella Airosa. In terms of goals scored, América has the advantage over Pachuca with 97 over 95 goals scored. Their last meeting dates back to the first leg semifinals of the CONCACAF Champions League 2024, where both teams drew 1-1.
Battlefield
El Estadio Hidalgo es un recinto deportivo ubicado en Pachuca de Soto, Hidalgo y es la casa de los Tuzos del Pachuca, equipo de fútbol que pertenece a la Liga MX y disputa ahí sus partidos de local de dicho torneo. Asimismo, este recinto también es la casa de las Tuzas del Pachuca, equipo femenil de Pachuca. Este Estadio fue inaugurado en el año de 1993 con el duelo de Pachuca vs Pumas con marcador final de 0-2 en favor de los universitarios, cuenta con una capacidad para albergar a 25,000 espectadores en sus butacas.
All or nothing for the eagles
Club América will have to stick out its chest against the bullets and take their chances on the Hidalgo Stadium pitch against a team that wants to reaffirm its paternity. América, despite having managed to defend its home ground in the first leg, arrives at a venue where Pachuca is strong, and André Jardine's pupils will have to play their best individual and collective soccer to beat Guillermo Almada's pupils, who have already beaten América in the second half of the season. However, there is good news for América since now, if the Azulcrema team scores more than one goal, they will have the advantage as long as they do not lose, since the away goal tiebreaker will benefit América.
To reaffirm paternity
Club Pachuca will seek to win against América at the Hidalgo Stadium in a match where more than a victory is at stake, more than a place in the final of the competition, since the dream of going to the 2025 Club World Cup is about to vanish for one of the two clubs. However, the Tuzos will have a difficult time, as the team from Hidalgo will have to play twice in less than 72 hours, taking into account that after the second leg of the semifinal, they will have to play the Liga MX Play-in, but before thinking about that, they have to think about América, a team they have beaten in the most recent qualifiers, such as the quarterfinals of the Guard1anes 2021, the semifinals of the Apertura 2022, and even further back in time, the quarterfinals of the year 2017.
To make history in CONCACAF
The road continues in the CONCACAF Champions Cup or CONCACAF Champions League, one of the most important international competitions that brings together all the champion, runner-up and best teams of the season in the same competition with a single objective; to bring out the best club in the North American area and send it to the Club World Cup to represent the level of the region and leave all North and Central American soccer with the flag flying high. In this new competition where the quotas were expanded and therefore, more clubs were able to qualify for this new competition, the last club will be sought to get the ticket to the Club World Cup in 2025 so that it can participate in the first World Cup similar to that of FIFA that is held every four years and can be measured one on one against the best teams in the world, However, to get there, it will have to overcome this semifinal stage, which will be played in two rounds with the integrated factor of away goals to define a winner in the event that an elimination series ends in a tie.
Kick-off time
The Pachuca vs Club America match will be played at Estadio Hidalgo in Pachuca, Hidalgo, Mexico. The kick-off is scheduled at 21:00 pm ET.
