Club de Fútbol América S.A. de C.V., commonly known as Club América or simply América, is a professional football club based in Mexico City. Nicknamed Las Águilas (The Eagles), it competes in Liga MX, the top tier of Mexican football. The club was founded in 1916, and since 1959 has been owned by mass media company Televisa. The team plays its home games at the Estadio Azteca, the largest stadium in Latin America and one of the largest in the world.

América holds the distinction of being one of the original members of the Primera División, the top professional football league in Mexico. The club shares a long-standing and intense rivalry with Guadalajara, as both teams are not only highly successful but also widely supported throughout the country. Remarkably, these two clubs have never faced relegation, further fueling the intensity of their encounters. The matches between América and Guadalajara, known as El Súper Clásico, are widely regarded as one of the biggest rivalries in Mexican football and among the most significant worldwide. In addition to this fierce rivalry, América also engages in local derbies against Cruz Azul and Club Universidad Nacional, collectively known as the "Big Four" of Mexican football.

Club América holds the distinction of being the most successful team in Mexican football, having claimed a remarkable thirteen league titles, a record-breaking six Copa México titles, seven Campeón de Campeones cups and 15 Liga MX (the first Mexican league). Internationally, the club has achieved great success, securing ten FIFA-recognized club trophies, the highest number among all clubs in the CONCACAF region. This includes an impressive seven CONCACAF Champions Cup/Champions League titles, two Copa Interamericana cups, and one CONCACAF Giants Cup. Beyond their title triumphs, América boasts numerous other notable achievements, such as leading the all-time league table in victories and points, making the most appearances in the playoff stage, reaching the most finals, and finishing as runners-up a remarkable ten times, tied with Cruz Azul. Furthermore, the International Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS) recognized América as the best North American club of the first decade (2001-2011) of the 21st century.
