Club América's Club World Cup hopes fade | OneFootball

It was in 2025 when Club América had the great opportunity to qualify for the first Club World Cup in history in a ‘playoff’ against LAFC after León’s elimination due to the multi-ownership issue.

Unfortunately, Las Águilas suffered one of the biggest failures in their history after losing to LAFC, in a match they had won by the 88th minute and ended up losing in extra time.

In the end, LAFC qualified for the World Cup and had a terrible tournament, bowing out with three losses in three matches, but that is another story.

The chances of a Club World Cup are shrinking.

For the edition to be played in 2029, there are now only two spots left, which will go to the winners of the 2027 and 2028 Concachampions.

The first two qualified teams from CONCACAF are Cruz Azul and Toluca, so half of the spots are already taken.

These will be the last two opportunities for Club América to try to secure its spot, and the good news is that they have already qualified for next year’s Concacaf Champions Cup.

We will see what happens; the board will have to seriously strengthen the team if it wants a spot in the continental tournament, because it has already been shown that not only Mexican clubs compete, but also MLS clubs, which keep adding better players to their squads.
