Guadalajara, Mexico – The highly anticipated Clásico Nacional between Chivas de Guadalajara and Club América in the Liga BBVA MX Femenil has been rescheduled for Tuesday, March 10th, at 7:05 PM Central Time, following incidents of violence in Guadalajara, Jalisco. The match, corresponding to Jornada 10 of the Clausura 2026 tournament, will be played at the Estadio Akron, according to TV Azteca Deportes.
The rescheduling comes after authorities deemed it necessary to postpone the original date due to safety concerns. Both Chivas and América are experiencing strong performances this season, adding to the significance of this mid-week clash. While América remains undefeated in the Clausura 2026 tournament, Chivas currently holds a higher position in the league table, despite a recent defeat against Pumas. A win for Chivas would further solidify their standing and create distance from their rivals as they push for a top spot in the Liguilla, the league’s playoff system.
The upcoming match is expected to be a compelling contest, but both teams face challenges regarding player availability. América will be without key player Scarlett Camberos, and there is uncertainty surrounding the participation of Sarah Luebbert, who experienced muscle discomfort during a friendly match against the Venezuelan national team, as reported by TV Azteca Deportes. Chivas, meanwhile, have doubts about Jasmine Casarez’s fitness, as she continues to recover from muscle issues sustained during international duty with the Mexican national team.
The Liga BBVA MX Femenil represents a growing segment of the Mexican football landscape, attracting increasing attention and investment. The Clásico Nacional, regardless of the league, consistently draws significant viewership and media coverage, reflecting the deep-rooted rivalry between these two historic clubs.
Team Form and Key Absences
América enters the match with an unblemished record in the Clausura 2026 season, demonstrating their strength and consistency. However, Chivas’s current league position suggests they have a slight advantage heading into the game. The absence of key players like Camberos and the potential unavailability of Luebbert could significantly impact América’s offensive capabilities. OneFootball notes América’s recent form includes a win against Chivas on September 13, 2025, with a score of 1-2.
Chivas will also need to assess Casarez’s condition before the match. Her potential absence adds another layer of complexity to their team selection. The ability of both teams to adapt to these absences and maintain their tactical strategies will be crucial for success.
Recent Clásico Nacional Results
Recent encounters between Chivas and América have been fiercely contested. On September 14, 2025, Chivas defeated América 2-1, ending América’s undefeated streak in Liga MX, according to ESPN Deportes. Goals from Roberto Alvarado and Armando González secured the victory for Chivas, while Álvaro Fidalgo scored for América. The match was also marked by a near-brawl between players from both teams following the final whistle.
Chivas Femenil’s official Twitter account posted a message rallying support for the team ahead of the match, highlighting the importance of winning the “Clásico Tapatío.”
What to Expect on Tuesday
The rescheduled Clásico Nacional promises to be a captivating encounter. The combination of league standings, player absences, and the historical rivalry between the two clubs sets the stage for a thrilling match. The outcome could have significant implications for both teams’ chances of securing a favorable position in the Liguilla.
