World Football Challenge: Club America, Chivas De Guadajara To Play Barcelona
America and Chivas are arguably the two biggest clubs in Mexico and among the most decorated. Chivas has won 11 first-division titles -- more than any other team -- in their 105-year history. America has won 10 titles in their 95-year history, the second most in Mexico. Both teams are currently fighting for spots in the Mexican Primera playoffs.
Barcelona will also face Manchester United on July 30 as part of the World Football Challenge, which now includes 10 teams and has announced dates in seven stadiums around the United States and Canada.
