Club América is struggling for the lead in the Clausura 2025 of Liga MX, with Club León as its main competitor, the latter reinforced by the presence of Colombian World Cup player James Rodríguez. In an advanced match of round 9, América drew, regretting the missed opportunity to score the second goal and being caught up on the scoreboard with a well-known and prepared play by the rival team.
América has reached a new agreement with the brand Adidas, which surpasses the value of the previous contract with Nike by two times. This agreement will allow Adidas to outfit both the men's team and the América Femenil, as well as other teams associated with Club América. Club América, whose parent company, Ollamani SAB, separated from Grupo Televisa SAB last year, has a large number of followers both in Mexico and the United States.
Sam Handy, general director of Adidas Football, mentioned that the history of Club América in Mexican football is deeply admired and respected by the brand. On the other hand, Club América has ended its contract with Nike Inc. to partner with Adidas AG, a strategic move that marks a change in the team's apparel starting next summer.
In Liga MX Femenil, the 'Águilas' occupy the second position, led by the 'Tuzas' of Pachuca with their standout scorer Charlyn Corral. Meanwhile, the head coach of the men's team, André Jardine, regretted the defeat suffered in the last match, highlighting the cost of defensive errors.
The agreement between Adidas and Club América will begin in July, coinciding with the 2025-2026 football season, with specific figures about the deal not being revealed. Elliott Hill, CEO of Adidas, who returned from retirement in October, has been holding a series of meetings with commissioners of various sports leagues around the world since assuming the position in the company.
