Preview: Olimpia v América – Concachampions 2026 kicks off | OneFootball

Tonight, another edition of the Concacaf Champions Cup will kick off with the match between Olimpia and Club América.

The Águilas come into this game after a victory against Necaxa, which marked their first win of the year, but not only that, it also meant their first goals of the season and of 2026.

Although at the end of the day the result turned out to be the ‘least important’ thing, during the match it was revealed that Álvaro Fidalgo will be leaving the team, and as if that wasn’t enough, we also learned that Allan Saint-Maximin terminated his contract and left.

But there’s nothing left to do but put that behind and quickly focus on the Concachampions, a tournament that América hasn’t won in 10 years and is undoubtedly the number one priority for the team in this edition.

Their opponent this time is Olimpia from Honduras, an old acquaintance for the Águilas and without a doubt one of the best teams in Central America.

It will be a tough match, especially the first leg, as it’s a difficult field, with a lot of pressure, and their team rises to the occasion in the face of adversity.

The players ruled out for this match.

The Águilas will have a couple of absences for this match: Israel Reyes due to injury and Rodrigo Aguirre, who is still negotiating his transfer to Tigres, so he did not travel with the team.

The probable lineup for this match.

In goal will be Luis Ángel Malagón.

The central defense will once again feature Ramón Juárez and Sebastián Cáceres, with Kevin Álvarez on the right and Cristian Borja on the left.

In midfield, it’s likely that Alan Cervantes will start alongside Rodrigo Dourado, with Erick Sánchez playing slightly ahead of them.

And in attack, Brian Rodríguez on the left, Víctor Dávila on the right, and ‘Pantera’ Zúñiga as the center forward.

The kit Club América will wear.

What time and where to watch the match?

The match will be played at 08:00PM (Central Mexico time) and will be broadcast exclusively on Fox One for Mexico. In the United States, it will be on TUDN USA and VIX Premium, while in Central America it will be broadcast on ESPN.
