Jalisco rocked as thousands of Chivas fans watched training! | OneFootball

Not even the heat beating down on the Pearl of Guadalajara could stop them. Amid chants, flags, and an energy that only love for the most Mexican team of all can generate, nearly 10,000 Chivahermanos gathered this afternoon at Estadio Jalisco to accompany the Sacred Flock in its open training session ahead of the most important match of CL26 so far.

With one day to go before the second leg of the Clausura 2026 Semifinals against Cruz Azul, the connection between Chivas and its people is stronger than ever, as shortly before 3 p.m., the streets around the Colossus on Calzada Independencia began to turn red and white.

Entire families, groups of friends, flags, historic jerseys, and the hope of advancing to the Grand Final set the tone before a very special night around the Club Deportivo.

Once the squad was on the field, the support was immediate. The stadium echoed with chants, applause, and constant encouragement for Gabriel Milito’s team, who felt the backing of a fanbase dreaming of reaching the 13th trophy in the Club’s history.

Every drill the players went through was cheered on by everyone in attendance, turning the training session into a red-and-white carnival. The players responded with applause toward the stands, and that connection between the crowd and the squad created some very special moments. “Oso” González fired up the atmosphere even more by gifting a jersey to the fans, while Richy Ledezma and Omar Govea also had gestures for the Chivahermanos in attendance.

Later on, Ángel Sepúlveda, José Castillo, and Ricardo Marín grabbed red-and-white flags and waved them in front of the stands, prompting the entire stadium to sing at the top of their lungs and jump to the rhythm of “Dale Rebaño.”

Another emotional moment came when Gilberto “Tiba” Sepúlveda approached the stands, took off his jersey, and signed it before giving it to a young Chivahermanito, while Santiago Sandoval took off his cleats and tossed them into the stands as a sign of gratitude. Amaury Vergara even spent time with those in attendance and signed several jerseys that fans threw to him.

The energy experienced this afternoon at the Jalisco offered a taste of what the Red-and-White Republic will bring to the stands tomorrow. Team and fans will play together once again, ready to reach another Grand Final in Mexican soccer.
