América de Cali is a Colombian footballing institution, competing in the Categoría Primera A and based in the city of Cali. Founded in 1927, the club is one of the country's most successful and popular teams, playing its home games at the Estadio Pascual Guerrero. Clad in their iconic all-red kits, they are nicknamed "Los Diablos Rojos" (The Red Devils). The club's history is deeply intertwined with the identity of the Valle del Cauca region. América de Cali's peak era came in the 1980s and 1990s, a period of domestic dominance where they won multiple league titles and became a powerhouse in South American football, reaching the Copa Libertadores final on four occasions. That team featured stars like Antony de Ávila and became synonymous with attractive, attacking football. The modern era has seen periods of turbulence, including relegation in 2011, but the club has since returned to the top flight and reclaimed its status as a title challenger, adding to its trophy cabinet in recent years. The fan base, known as "La Barra del Sur," is renowned for its fervent and colorful support, creating an intimidating atmosphere for visitors. América de Cali embodies the passion, drama, and relentless pursuit of glory that characterizes Colombian football.
