The Campeones Cup, established in 2018, brings together champions from Major League Soccer (MLS) and Liga MX, Mexico’s top football league, in a thrilling one-off event. The competition has become a true spectacle in North American soccer, offering a unique cross-border rivalry that captures the passion of the sport. This year, the stakes are higher than ever as Columbus Crew and Club América face off in the sixth edition of the tournament.
Since its inception, the Campeones Cup has been contested five times, with MLS teams emerging victorious on three occasions. Liga MX clubs, however, remain formidable opponents, with Tigres UANL claiming two titles, including the first in 2018 and most recently in 2022. Notably, Club América and Columbus Crew have both tasted victory in this competition—América in 2019 and Columbus in 2021, when they defeated Cruz Azul 2-0 to lift their first Campeones Cup at Lower.com Field.
This year’s match sees Columbus Crew coming in with considerable momentum, fresh off winning the MLS Cup and the Leagues Cup in the last year. The Black & Gold, led by head coach Wilfried Nancy, are aiming for their third trophy in less than a year, a feat that would solidify their place among the all-time greats in MLS. With a win on Wednesday, the Crew would not only claim their second Campeones Cup but also achieve a remarkable triple-trophy season.

Key players such as Diego Rossi have been pivotal to the Crew’s success. The Uruguayan forward has been in scintillating form, contributing 22 goals and assists across all competitions this season. Fans will be eager to see him rise to the occasion once again, as Columbus seeks to build on its 4-3 victory over Orlando City SC last weekend.
On the other side, Club América enters the match with a rich legacy and a desire for revenge. The Mexican giants, boasting 15 Liga MX titles, are one of the most decorated clubs in Latin America. Despite their storied past, the current Liga MX Apertura season has been challenging for Las Águilas, as they sit mid-table after a mixed start. Led by experienced players like Jonathan dos Santos and prolific striker Henry Martín, América will be looking to bounce back from their 4-1 loss to Columbus earlier this summer in the Leagues Cup group stage.
Wednesday night’s game at Lower.com Field promises to be a gripping encounter. With the stadium hosting its second Campeones Cup in three years, Columbus fans are ready to see their team make history once again. As Club América looks for redemption and the Crew aims to secure their tenth trophy, all eyes will be on this blockbuster clash of champions.
