When will Miguel Borja make his debut for América? | OneFootball

Miguel Borja has so far been the latest signing made by Club América for this season, in which they are competing in the 2026 Apertura and the Leagues Cup.

Borja is a striker whom Club América had already tried to sign six months ago, but due to financial differences they were unable to complete the deal. Cruz Azul was also close to signing him, but they could not register him, so the player, being a free agent, decided to join Al-Wasl in the United Arab Emirates, where, despite posting good numbers, he never felt comfortable.

Las Águilas bought the player for an undisclosed fee and signed him to a one-year deal with an option for another year, which could keep him at Club América until mid-2028.

When will he make his debut for Club América?

For now, his debut will have to wait, as Miguel did not travel with the team for the Leagues Cup match against Columbus Crew, which will take place this Wednesday in Los Angeles, California.

But if everything goes well, we could see him on the bench for next Saturday’s match against Puebla, and if América advances to the 2026 Leagues Cup semifinal, he will also be available to play in that match.

What will he bring to América?

Miguel Borja is a striker whose numbers have statistically declined in recent years, but he still stands out in front of goal, especially when it comes to headers; in that area, he is a lethal forward.

He also has the ability to combine with his teammates to help create plays, so in that regard he can also be important alongside players such as Raphael Veiga, who, incidentally, was his teammate at Palmeiras in Brazil during the 2017-2019 seasons.
