Former America defender, Miguel Layún, has decided to return to the field after retiring from professional football after winning the 2023 Apertura title. Layún announced his comeback to play again with the Eagles, surprising fans.

Miguel Layún will participate in the TST, an international 7-a-side football tournament to be held in North Carolina from June 4 to 9.
The TST will be the stage for this unexpected return of Layún, who has become a reference for Americanism. The tournament will bring together teams from various parts of the world and offers a prize of 18 million pesos to the champion. Layún stated: "Because at America we must be ready to play," confirming his participation in the tournament and hinting at his role in the team.
Although his specific function in the TST has not been revealed, his presence in the team's presentation video, where he is seen observing the players and wearing the uniform and boots, suggests he could have a significant role off the field.

The blue-and-creams will share the spotlight in the TST with renowned clubs such as Borussia Dortmund, Villarreal, Wrexham Red Dragons, Nani FC, and Sergio Agüero's Potrero Selection, among others. The presence of Miguel Layún and the planned surprises make America one of the main attractions of the tournament.
