Apertura 2025 Clásico nacional rescheduled: new date confirmed | OneFootball

We are just a few weeks away from the national classic being played in the regular phase of the Apertura 2025.

The match was originally scheduled to be played on Friday, September 12, a date that generated a lot of controversy because classics are usually played on weekends or during the week, as long as it is a direct elimination match.

But for this Apertura 2025 when the calendar just came out, they decided to set it to be played on Friday the 12th, a date that they apparently ended up seeing as less than ideal for the national classic.

The date was changed, without official notice.

Without any announcement through any media, on the official Liga MX page, the date change for this match between América and Chivas already appears.

The duel was rescheduled for Saturday, September 13 at 09:15PM, keeping the Ciudad de los Deportes Stadium as the venue for the match.

Has the classic been devalued?

For many, the national classic between América and Chivas has been devalued because Guadalajara has stopped being a leading team in recent years.

This has caused América to take a lot of advantage in direct confrontations, usually adding a victory against their classic rival, and even with eliminations like the last two from Concacaf and Liga MX.

There have been other clubs like Tigres or Cruz Azul that, while they also have a negative record against the eagles, have managed to eliminate the blue-creams in some national or international tournament.
