Brian Rodríguez targets 17th title for Club América's anniversary

Uruguayan forward Brian Rodríguez has set his sights on a major goal for the current Apertura 2026 season. With Club América set to celebrate its 110th anniversary on October 12, the player is determined to mark the milestone by helping the team secure their 17th league championship.

Despite a recent dip in performance following their Leagues Cup campaign, Rodríguez remains confident in the squad's ability to compete at the highest level. "I know there is still a long way to go until the final, but it would undoubtedly be a great celebration to reach it and win it," the Uruguayan stated.

Reflecting on previous challenges, including a difficult match against Cruz Azul, Rodríguez emphasized the importance of focus and tactical discipline. He expressed full confidence in the team's working process under head coach Guillermo Almada, noting that attention to small details will be the deciding factor in the upcoming stages of the tournament.

Since joining the club in 2022, Rodríguez has already collected six titles, including Liga MX championships and the Supercopa. He describes the experience of delivering joy to the fans as the most rewarding aspect of his time in Mexico.

Following the current FIFA break, the team faces a challenging schedule. They are set to host Monterrey on October 10 and travel to play León on October 17, providing an immediate test of their resolve to finish the regular season strong.
