Club Deportivo Guadalajara, universally known as Chivas, is a Mexican professional football club based in Guadalajara, Jalisco, competing in Liga MX. The iconic Estadio Akron is their home fortress. Founded in 1906, the club is famous for its red, white, and blue vertical stripes and its unique policy of fielding only Mexican-born players. The team's name "Chivas" (Goats) originated from fan chants and became a symbol of their fighting spirit. Their history is among the richest in Mexico, with a peak era in the 1960s under legendary coach Javier de la Torre, winning multiple league titles and becoming the first (and only) Mexican club to win the CONCACAF Champions' Cup. The modern Chivas remain a giant, adding more league titles in the 21st century and consistently challenging for honors. The fan base, one of the largest and most passionate in the Americas, creates an unforgettable atmosphere, united by immense pride in the club's Mexican-only philosophy.
