👀The truth behind it: why Martinoli avoids América at home? | OneFootball

The debate over Christian Martinoli’s absence from Club América matches at the nest of Coapa has sparked multiple rumors in Mexican soccer. However, the famed sports commentator clarified that his distance is not due to an institutional ban by the club or Liga MX, but rather to a strict personal decision for safety reasons.

Anti-Americanism and the safety factor

Martinoli, whose personal trademark includes a strongly critical stance toward the blue-and-cream side, explained that he prefers not to appear at venues where Las Águilas play at home in order to avoid provoking a fan base that is usually extremely fervent.

"I never go to an América home match. We don’t go to the stadium for safety reasons," the broadcaster confessed, seeking to protect his own safety and that of his family in the face of the hostility of the environment.

Remote commentary

When his TV network owns the rights to crucial matches, such as the 2026 Concachampions final, the broadcast team chooses to do the work from outside the stadium. Neither Liga MX nor Club América have imposed any regulatory sanctions in this regard, leaving the situation as the journalist’s private decision.
