We are exactly one week away from Club América making their debut in the Clausura 2026, visiting Xolos at the Estadio Caliente.

Officially, there have been no new signings registered, but just yesterday it was revealed that negotiations are already very advanced for the arrival of Rodrigo Dourado, a defensive midfielder from Atlético de San Luis, to be finalized.

The rest of the squad remains unchanged, so for the start of the tournament, it is very likely that we will see a starting eleven very similar to what we saw last semester.

The lineup with which they could debut in the Clausura 2026.

In goal, without a doubt, will be Luis Ángel Malagón.

At center back, we would see the pairing of Ramón Juárez and Sebastián Cáceres; at right back Israel Reyes and on the left, Cristian Borja.

If the signing of Rodrigo Dourado is made official this weekend, we could easily see him as a starter, since he has already been doing preseason with San Luis, and he would play alongside Álvaro Fidalgo. If his signing takes longer, Israel Reyes would move to defensive midfielder and Kevin Álvarez would play as right back.

As attacking midfielders, Allan Saint-Maximin would be on the left, Alejandro Zendejas on the right, Erick Sánchez in the center, and José Zúñiga as center forward.
