Club de Fútbol América S.A. de C.V., commonly known as Club América, is a professional football club based in Mexico City. Nicknamed Las Águilas, it competes in Liga MX, the top tier of Mexican football. The club was founded in 1916, and since 1959 has been owned by mass media company Televisa. The team plays its home games at the Estadio Azteca, the largest stadium in Latin America and one of the largest in the world.
The Club América team which won the 1924–25 Primera Fuerza, considered the club's first honour in its history. Modern tallies of official honours do not take into account América's four Primera Fuerza titles.
