History of the El Súper Clásico rivalry

This fixture dates back to 1943, when Guadalajara captured a 1-0 victory in the first meeting between the two sides in the Copa Mexico.

Chivas is well-known for exclusively signing Mexican players, while América fields foreign players in addition to Mexican, and this has helped build up the rivalry over the years.

América hailing from Mexico City (Mexico and North America’s largest city) and Chivas from Guadalajara (Mexico’s 3rd largest city) also fuels the intensity between the two sides.

América holds the edge in overall wins and trophies won between the two clubs.

Being the two biggest Mexican club sides, countless stars from the country have played for one, or both, over the history of the rivalry. Several managers have stood on both sidelines of the derby as well.
