Chivas to take part in Copa Imposible 2026 | OneFootball

The Rojiblanca Youth Academy will once again raise Chivas’ name high on the international stage, as Guadalajara’s 2009 age group will travel to Medellín, Colombia, to compete in the 2026 Copa Imposible, which from May 24 to 30 will bring together several of the continent’s most renowned clubs.

With Rojiblanco pride and the honor of representing Mexico, El Rebaño was placed in Group A, where it will face Atlético Nacional, Argentinos Juniors, and Independiente Santa Fe in a demanding opening stage of the tournament. 

The tournament, which will also feature Boca Juniors, River Plate, Flamengo, Fluminense, Universidad de Chile, and the Colombia U-17 National Team, will bring together a total of 16 teams from Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Colombia, giving the young Rojiblancos an unforgettable experience. 

The competition format emphasizes high-level match experience and direct matchups, so once the group stage ends, there will be 3 knockout formats: the Gold Cup, featuring the top 2 teams from each group; the Silver Cup, contested by the 4 teams eliminated in the Gold Cup quarterfinals; and the Bronze Cup, which will include all teams eliminated in the first round.

The matches will be played at Estadio Atanasio Girardot, which has hosted Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana finals, Conmebol qualifiers, and the Pan American Games, as well as Estadio Cincuentenario, which is used for Colombian first division matches.
