América de Cali S. A. is a famous Colombian football club. It is often called América de Cali or just América. The club is based in Cali, a city in Colombia. They play in the Categoría Primera A, which is the top football league in Colombia. Their home games are held at the Estadio Olímpico Pascual Guerrero, a very important stadium in the country.
América de Cali is one of the oldest clubs in Colombia. It was officially started in 1927. However, its roots go back to the América Football Club, which began in 1918. The club is also one of the most successful in Colombia. They have won 15 league titles and one second-division title. They also reached the finals of the Copa Libertadores four times. This included three times in a row from 1985 to 1987. Even though they never won the Copa Libertadores, they did win two other international tournaments: the Copa Simón Bolívar in 1975 and the Copa Merconorte in 1999.
In 2011, América de Cali was moved down to the second division. This was the first time in their history this happened. They played there for five seasons. In 2016, they won the second division championship. This allowed them to return to the top league.
América de Cali has some big rivalries. Their biggest rival is Deportivo Cali, another team from their city. Their matches are called the "Clásico Vallecaucano". Other important rivals include Atlético Nacional, Millonarios, and Independiente Santa Fe.
In 1996, a group called IFFHS ranked América as the second-best football club in the world. Only Juventus from Italy was ranked higher. They were also ranked as the best Colombian team of the 20th century.

Club History: How It All Started
The story of América de Cali began in 1918. Students from a school called Colegio Santa Librada formed a team. They named it América FC. This team won one of the first championships in Colombian football in 1919. It was called the Copa Centenario Batalla de Boyacá. However, the team broke up soon after.
Over the next few years, other clubs appeared in Cali. One famous club was Racing Club. It was named after an Argentine team. This club wore light blue and white striped jerseys. But when this club also broke up in 1925, their uniforms were gone too.
On February 13, 1927, a new club was officially formed. Hernán Zamorano Isaacs was its first president. They chose the name América and picked scarlet and white as their colors. There are different stories about why these colors were chosen. But these colors and the name have stayed with América ever since.
Early Years: Building a Team
América won the Amateur Tournament in 1930. They then played against local rivals Cali FC. The winner would join Colombia's top league. Cali FC won 1–0 in a very controversial game. Two of América's goals were not allowed. This game helped start the strong rivalry between América and what would become Deportivo Cali.
Since they couldn't join the national tournament, América went on a long tour in 1931. They played matches all over the country. This helped them become well-known across Colombia. For the next 15 years, they were one of the strongest teams. One of their best players was Benjamin Urrea. People called him Garabato (the scribble) because he was small and fast.
The Professional Era and a Legend
In 1948, the Colombian league started becoming professional. Garabato, who was almost done with his career, did not like this change. When América decided to join the professional league, a legend says that Garabato put a "curse" on the club. He supposedly said they would never win a championship. América did struggle a lot in the league. But there were also real reasons for this.
The club did not have as much money as other teams. This was especially true during the "El Dorado period" (1949–54). During this time, Colombian clubs brought in many foreign players. América could not afford to do the same. They often finished at the bottom of the league. In the 1950s, they never finished higher than sixth place. They even skipped the 1953 tournament because of money problems. They almost closed down. But another Cali club, Boca Juniors de Cali, closed instead.
In 1960, the club hired Adolfo Pedernera as their manager. He led the team to a second-place finish in 1961. This was the highest they had ever finished. This season changed América. They were no longer in danger of closing. By the end of the 1960s, they became one of the strongest teams. In 1967, they went 22 matches without losing. In 1968 and 1969, they finished second. In 1969, Hugo Lóndero scored 24 goals, a Colombian record. This also allowed América to play in the Copa Libertadores for the first time.
For most of the 1970s, the team was usually in the middle of the league. They finished second twice. A big moment came in 1976. América won the Copa Simón Bolívar, an international tournament. But they still had not won a Colombian championship.
A Golden Age: Five Titles in a Row!
In 1979, two big things happened for América. First, the club made peace with Garabato. He came to the stadium and signed a paper to "officially" lift the curse. Second, they hired Gabriel Ochoa Uribe as manager. Ochoa Uribe was a very famous manager. He had won many championships with other teams. He would make América one of the best teams in Colombian football.
Ochoa liked strong defense. He built his team around players like captain Aurelio Pascuttini and Luis Eduardo Reyes. In the midfield were Juan Manuel Battaglia and Gerardo Gonzalez Aquino. Up front, Jorge Ramón Cáceres and Alfonso Cañón led the attack. In 1979, América was in a close race with Deportivo Cali. They both had the same points. A playoff was held, but both games were 0–0. Deportivo Cali won the first tournament based on goal average.
In the second tournament of 1979, América finished first in both stages. This earned them a spot in the final round. It was a four-team competition. The championship came down to the last match. América needed to beat Unión Magdalena. In front of a huge crowd, Los Escarlatas won 2–0. They won their first-ever title on December 19, 1979. This day became known as "Aquel 19" (That 19th).
The years 1980 and 1981 were about making the team even stronger. América finished third both years. They also reached the semi-finals of the 1980 Copa Libertadores. Ochoa brought in new players. These included Argentine goalkeeper Julio César Falcioni and strikers Roque Alfaro, Humberto Sierra, and Antony de Ávila. Falcioni became a key player for many years. De Ávila played until 1987 and scored a club record of 201 goals.
In 1982, all the new players worked perfectly together. Sierra was the top scorer with 23 goals. Alfaro added 16 more. América won every Colombian competition that year. They won the championship by beating Millonarios in Bogotá in the final match.
América had won two championships with a strong defense. But Ochoa made a big move that changed their style. He signed midfielder Willington Ortiz. Ortiz was one of the biggest stars in Colombian football. He was 30 years old and nicknamed "El Viejo Willy" (Old Willy). But he was still very skilled. Ochoa wanted him for his team.
Ortiz's arrival changed América's style from defense to fast attacks. They became known as La Mechita (The Fuse). In 1983, Ortiz and Juan Manuel Battaglia scored 40 goals together. América won their third championship in a row. They also reached the semi-finals of the 1983 Copa Libertadores.
In 1984, Ochoa made the midfield even stronger. He signed Peruvian player César Cueto, nicknamed "The Left-Footed Poet." Álex Escobar, a young player from the club's youth team, also started playing regularly. Escobar would be a key player until 1996. With Cueto, Escobar, and Ortiz in the midfield, La Mechita won their third straight championship.
In 1985, América wanted another title. Ochoa added Paraguayan forward Roberto Cabañas and Argentine striker Ricardo Gareca. The season came down to the second-to-last match. América's win over Deportivo Cali secured their fourth title in a row. Even more exciting was their journey in the 1985 Copa Libertadores. La Mechita won their first group without losing. Then they won their semi-final group. This put them in the finals against Argentinos Juniors. The Argentine team won the first game 1–0. But Willington Ortiz scored early in the second game, giving América a 1–0 win. This led to a deciding third match in Asunción. After a 1–1 tie, Argentinos Juniors won in a penalty shootout. They lifted the Copa Libertadores.
The 1986 season saw América set a Colombian record. They won their fifth championship in a row! It was a tough race. But the club held off Deportivo Cali and won the title. They secured it with a win against their city rivals. At the same time, they were making another run in the 1986 Copa Libertadores. They won their group, even eliminating Deportivo Cali. They also survived a tough semi-finals group. This put them in the championship round for the second year in a row. They faced Argentine powerhouse River Plate. River Plate won the first game in Cali 2–1. Then they won 1–0 in Buenos Aires to claim their first Copa Libertadores title.
In 1987, the club faced its biggest heartbreak in the 1987 Copa Libertadores. Los Diablos Rojos reached the final for the third time in a row. They played against Uruguayan team Peñarol. América won the first game 2–0. Then they took an early 1–0 lead in the second game. It looked like the Copa Libertadores was finally coming to Cali. But Peñarol came back to win 2–1. Then, in a playoff match in Santiago, Peñarol won 1–0 in extra time. It was another very close loss for América.
Back home, América's winning streak in the league ended. Millonarios won the title in 1987 and again in 1988. The 1989 season looked like it would be a big fight between the new champions and a strong América. But the season was stopped because of a sad event.
The 1990s: More Trophies and Challenges
The 1990s started with many changes for América. Many of the players who helped win five championships had left. But they still had manager Ochoa, midfielder Alex Escobar, and striker Antony de Ávila. In 1990, Sergio Angulo joined De Ávila up front. Freddy Rincón, a national team star, joined Escobar in midfield. The club won the championship in 1990. This was their seventh title.
1991 was a year of close calls. Atlético Nacional beat América in the Copa Libertadores quarterfinals. Then they beat them for the Colombian league title. After the season, Gabriel Ochoa Uribe retired as manager. He had led the team for fifteen years and won seven league championships. América hired another famous manager, Francisco Maturana. He had won the Copa Libertadores with Atlético Nacional in 1989. People expected him to continue América's success.
The club won the 1992 tournament. They won their eighth championship. But the Copa Libertadores continued to be tough. In 1992, they reached the semi-finals. They played against Newell's Old Boys from Argentina. Both games ended in a 1–1 tie. The match went to penalties. After a very long shootout, Newell's won 11–10.
In 1993, Maturana's last year, the team finished fourth in the league. But they had a great run in the 1993 Copa Libertadores. They were the first Colombian team to win at Brazil's famous Maracanã Stadium, beating Flamengo. They reached the semi-finals again. But they lost to Universidad Católica from Chile with a goal in the last minute.
After the season, Maturana left to focus on managing the Colombian national team. But the club's success continued. They stayed near the top of the Colombian league in 1994, 1995, and 1996. They also qualified for the 1996 Copa Libertadores. That year, América had another amazing run. They reached the Copa Libertadores finals again. They faced River Plate once more. Antony de Ávila scored the winning goal in the first game. But in Argentina, River Plate won 2–1.
Despite the Copa Libertadores loss, the 1996–97 season was still good for América. The Colombian league format changed. It became a very long tournament, lasting sixteen months. Even so, Los Diablos Rojos won their ninth championship. They beat Atlético Bucaramanga in the finals.
Homegrown manager Jaime de la Pava took over in 1998. He continued the club's winning ways. His first title was the 1999 Copa Merconorte, América's second international title. The next year, de la Pava led the club to its tenth title in 2000. They won again in 2001 and in the 2002 Apertura. This 2002 title was a surprise because América had finished eighth in the regular season. But soon after, things started to change. De la Pava left the club.
The New Millennium: Challenges and Comeback
The 1990s brought more championships for América. But it also brought a big problem. In 1995, the US government created a list of businesses. It was illegal for American businesses to deal with them. América de Cali and its leaders were put on this list.
This changed things for the club. They had to pay transfer fees in cash. Players could not get visas for tours in the United States. Any money the club had in American banks was frozen. Sponsorship deals ended. Prize money from international tournaments could not be given to the club. América had to rely only on ticket sales for money.
Because they couldn't pay high salaries or get top players, América had to sell many of its stars. The team started to become less strong in Colombian football. By 2004, most of the great players from their golden age were gone. The new players were not as good. The club did reach the semi-finals of the 2003 Copa Libertadores. They also qualified for the 2005 Copa Libertadores. They reached the finals of the 2008 Apertura tournament. And they won a championship in the 2008 Finalización tournament. But these were just small good moments in a long, difficult time. Just one year after winning the league title, América was near the bottom of the league in 2009. Things did not get better in the 2009 Copa Libertadores. The team finished last in its group. The 2010 season was also bad. América did not make it to the playoffs in either tournament.
Relegation and Return: The Road Back
The club's problems reached their lowest point at the end of the 2011 season. América finished second-to-last in the relegation table. They had to play a special play-off game against Patriotas. They lost on penalties after a 2–2 total score. On December 17, 2011, América was moved down to the Categoría Primera B (second division). This was the first time in their history, after 57 seasons in the top league.
People expected América to quickly return to the top league. They played very well in the 2012 Primera B season. They did not lose any games at home. They beat Unión Magdalena on penalties to win the Apertura tournament. However, they did not play well in the second tournament. They lost the season finals to Alianza Petrolera on penalties. Then they lost a promotion play-off against Cúcuta Deportivo.
In 2013, after many years, the club was finally removed from the "Clinton List." This was a big relief. But 2013 was still a tough year for the team. In both tournaments, América finished first in the regular season. But they failed to reach the finals. In 2014, they made it to the Apertura tournament final. But they lost to Jaguares 5–2. The second tournament was even worse. The club finished eighth and last in their semi-final group.
In 2016, under manager Hernán Torres, América finished second in the first stage. They qualified for the semi-finals. There, they finished first in their group. On November 27, La Mechita finally returned to the Categoría Primera A. They won 2–1 against Deportes Quindío. This was thanks to goals from Ernesto Farías and Cristian Martinez Borja. In the tournament's final, they beat Tigres 5–1. They won their first Primera B title.
Back to Winning: Recent Success
In their first season back in the top league, América played well. They were in danger of being moved down again for most of the season. But they still qualified for the Copa Sudamericana. This was their first time in an international tournament in many years. They finished seventh in the Apertura tournament. They reached the semi-finals but were eliminated by their rivals, Deportivo Cali. In the Finalización tournament, they finished sixth. They were eliminated again in the semi-finals, this time by Millonarios. In the 2018 Copa Sudamericana, they were knocked out in the first round by Defensa y Justicia from Argentina.
In the 2019 season, América played very well. In the Apertura tournament, they finished fourth. They were third in their semi-final group. They beat Millonarios on the last day, stopping them from reaching the final. They then won their fourteenth league title in the Finalización tournament. This was their first title in 11 years! Manager Alexandre Guimarães led the team. Strikers Michael Rangel and Duván Vergara were key players. The team finished second in the first stage. They topped their semi-final group, beating rivals Deportivo Cali and Santa Fe. In the final, Los Diablos Rojos faced Junior. They won 2–0 over two games to become champions. This also meant they would return to the Copa Libertadores in 2020 after 11 years.
The 2020 season started with the return of club legend Adrián Ramos. América also returned to the Copa Libertadores. Their campaign began with a loss to Grêmio and a 2–1 win against Universidad Católica. Then, both the league and international games were stopped because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The club's manager, Alexandre Guimarães, left in June. Juan Cruz Real took over. In September, América lost the 2020 Superliga Colombiana to Junior. They also failed to get out of their Copa Libertadores group. But América had another great domestic league run. They won their 15th league title, and second in a row! They beat Santa Fe in the finals with a 3–2 total score.
In 2021, América de Cali reached the knockout stages of the Apertura tournament. They lost to Millonarios. But they did not make it to the round of 16 in the 2021 Copa Libertadores. This cost Juan Cruz Real his job. Juan Carlos Osorio was hired as the new manager. In the 2021 Copa Sudamericana, they lost to Athletico Paranaense. Their league performance was mixed. They lost another Superliga to Santa Fe. But they reached the semi-finals of the Finalización tournament. They qualified for the 2022 Copa Sudamericana. Osorio continued as manager in 2022. But he was fired after a few games. This was due to poor results and disagreements with the club's owner. Alexandre Guimarães returned as manager. But the team did not reach the semi-finals of the Apertura. They also lost in the Copa Colombia. In 2023, América reached the semi-finals in both tournaments. But they were eliminated both times.
Team Uniforms
Home Kit: The Red Devils
In their very first years, América wore blue and white uniforms. These were like the colors of the Argentinian team Racing Club. But the club later changed to its famous red and white colors. This change became permanent in 1931. A club story says that the idea came from a basketball game. The club secretary, Hernando Lenis, saw a basketball team called "The Red Devils." He was very impressed. This game inspired both the club's red jersey and their nickname, Los Diablos Rojos (The Red Devils).
Away Kit: Different Looks
Throughout its history, América de Cali has used several different uniforms for away games. Most of these have been white with red. But sometimes they have worn black or blue. One well-remembered away uniform had red shorts with a white shirt. The club has also worn special uniforms for celebrations. For example, in 1958, they wore a uniform similar to Racing Club. This was to honor their very first uniform.
Third Kit: A Darker Option
The club also has a second alternative jersey. It is black. They started wearing this black uniform in mid-2006.

Club Crest: The Devil's Symbol
The club's first crest appeared in the mid-1930s. It showed a map of South America. This was because the team was called América F.C.. This crest was used until 1939.
The devil symbol first appeared on the crest in 1940. This was because people believed the players "played like devils" on the field. During Gabriel Ochoa Uribe's time as manager, the devil was removed for religious reasons. So, the crest only showed the number of stars for the titles the club had won.
In 1992, the devil was completely removed from the main crest. It was only used for club business. But to celebrate the club's 70th birthday, the devil was put back on the uniforms. From then on, any bad beliefs about the devil were gone. In 2007, for the club's 80th anniversary, the devil was temporarily replaced. A logo that said "80 años" (80 years) was used. It also had "1927–2007" below it. Above the crest were the 13 stars for the club's titles. In 2010, the devil returned to the crest on the shirts.
Since 2017, the club uses a crest without stars. This is common in global professional football. Teams often show only their main badge without showing their wins.
Club Mascot: The Red Devil
The mascot for América de Cali is a red devil. This comes from sports journalists in the 1930s. They said the club's players ran like "red devils" on the field. This led the club to choose the devil as its symbol.

Team Rivalries
América de Cali vs. Deportivo Cali
This match is known as El Clásico Vallecaucano. It is a fierce rivalry between two teams from the city of Cali. The rivalry started in a local tournament in 1931. Deportivo Cali won 1–0 in a controversial game. Two of América's goals were not allowed. América protested and was banned from local tournaments for a year. The rivalry has grown stronger since then. The teams have played 335 times. Cali has won 125 times, and América has won 104 times. They have tied 106 matches.
Both teams together have won 25 league titles. They have played in three championship finals against each other. Deportivo Cali won one in 1969. América won in 1986 and 1992. Usually, between 30,000 and 35,000 fans attend this match.
América de Cali vs. Atlético Nacional
This rivalry is called the Clásico Popular ("People's Classic"). It involves the two Colombian clubs with the most fans. It became important in the 1980s. Both América and Atlético Nacional started to do very well in local and international tournaments. The rivalry was strongest between 1990 and 2002. During this time, both teams were among the most powerful in Colombian football. They met 15 times in championship finals. They also played 11 times in the Copa Libertadores and twice in the Copa Sudamericana. This rivalry is very close. América has 93 wins, and Nacional has 98 wins. They have tied 80 times.
América de Cali vs. Millonarios
These two teams are very popular and successful in Colombia. Together, they have won 31 league titles. Millonarios has 16, and América has 15. They also have some of the largest fan groups. The rivalry was at its peak in the 1980s. During that time, América (5) or Millonarios (2) won seven out of nine championships. They were also the main teams in the 1989 season, which was stopped. América's struggles and move to the second division made the rivalry less intense in the early 2010s. But it became strong again when América returned to the top league.
América de Cali vs. Santa Fe
This is a newer and less intense rivalry. It started in the late 1980s and early 1990s. During this time, América often bought Santa Fe's best players for low prices. Then they used these players to win championships. Some Santa Fe players who moved to América were Eduardo Niño, Wílmer Cabrera, and Sergio Angulo. All of them were part of América's 1990 league title team. This created bad feelings between the two fan groups. The rivalry was most competitive in 1999. América beat Santa Fe in the Copa Merconorte finals. In 2020, they played in the final series. América won its fifteenth title.
The rivalry had a very sad moment on May 11, 2005. A fight between fan groups led to one person dying. The game was stopped with América winning 5–2. The rivalry is still strong today, especially for Santa Fe fans.
