It couldn't get better than this, América fans.

Club América is reportedly planning to stage a highly anticipated friendly against Real Madrid at the newly renovated Estadio Azteca in October 2025, according to ESPN. The match, scheduled to coincide with the club’s 109th anniversary on October 12, would see Mexican fans’ return to the stadium for the first time in over 18 months since winning their 15th league title in May, 2024.

Lionel Messi’s first 2025 preseason performance for Inter Miami against Club América in Las Vegas quickly became one of the most talked-about moments of the match—not just for his goal, but for a viral celebration that sent a clear message to the fans in the stands. Like we’ve never seen him before.
