América's squad for the Apertura 2026 | OneFootball

We are exactly two days away from Club América making its debut in the Apertura 2026 against Querétaro at Estadio Corregidora.

But it will actually be today when the tournament kicks off, and therefore the players who will be registered by each club for this Apertura 2026 have already been revealed.

There are several surprises in América’s squad, such as an unexpected foreign ‘reinforcement’ and others who seemed set to stay but in the end were not registered.

América’s squad for Apertura 2026.

Goalkeepers:

The front office decided to register four goalkeepers, because Luis Ángel Malagón will be back in a couple of months. The registered keepers are: Luis Malagón, Fernando Tapia, Rodolfo Cota, and César Lugo.

Defenders.

In defense, we see two additions compared to last tournament. These are the registered players: Emilio Lara, Israel Reyes, Sebastián Cáceres, Kevin Álvarez, Franco Rossano, Cristian Borja, Ramón Juárez, and Miguel Vázquez.

Midfield

Midfield is where the surprise is: Ícaro Da Conceicao, a player from América’s youth academy, has been promoted to the first team and will be registered as a foreign player, since he is Brazilian. These are the registered players: Alejandro Zendejas, Isaías Violante, Alan Cervantes, Alexis Gutiérrez, Raphael Veiga, Ícaro Da Conceicao, Erick Sánchez, Dagoberto Espinosa, Santiago Naveda, and Miguel Ramírez.

Forwards.

And up front, the new development is Esteban Lozano, who returned after a loan spell at Puebla. These are the registered players: Brian Rodríguez, Henry Martín, José Zúñiga, Patricio Salas, and Esteban Lozano.

The surprise is that Thiago Espinosa was not registered, so his departure is now a fact; we should also remember that there can still be changes to the registrations, both arrivals and departures.
