America de CALI Celebrates Another Championship | 2001

Corporación Deportiva América, commonly known as América de Cali, is a Colombian football team, based in Cali. The club was founded in 1927. América is widely recognized as one of the most notable and traditional clubs in Colombian soccer history, being the club to have won the second largest number of Fútbol Profesional Colombiano titles (The Colombian First Division). It is considered to be one of the South American soccer powerhouses, because of its international appearances and its worldwide famous players. America is also known as "La Mechita," literally meaning in English "The Fuse" like that of bottle-rocket firework; when the team plays well the fans say "se prendio la mechita", which means "the fuse has ignited". America is recognized as having produced Colombia's top players and they are constantly being exported to leagues across the world. Most of the famous Colombian players that now triumph across the world of soccer and the Colombian national team, were made famous while playing for this institution. However, the past few years have shown a deterioration of the talent that once ranked it among the world's best.

The team's roots trace all the way back to 1918, when some students from Colegio Santa Librada formed their own team, called "America F.C.", to compete with other schools. The team won the Copa Centenario Batalla de Boyacá in 1919. The team's uniform was light blue with white vertical stripes, light blue shorts, and socks with horizontal stripes in white and light blue.

América de Cali was founded on February 13, 1927 in some of the poorest neighborhoods of Cali, then an economically emerging city in Colombia. After being expelled inexplicably from the regional tournament, América decides to tour the country in order to continue playing the sport, thus becoming the first Colombian team to play around the country. On February 16, 1948, América officially becomes the first professional Colombian soccer team, and had a large part in creating the first Colombian professional soccer tournament that took place that year.

Democratas del mundo, lastimosamente muchos antioqueños son racistas, pero cuando la gente no pasa por un libro, es dificil que tenga otro tipo de comentarios. Mis idolos todos negros: Asprilla, Freddy Rincon, Tren Valencia, Willington Ortiz, Tigre Castillo, Redín, etc. Y de paso saludar a los fanaticos del America de Cali en el mundo!
