One of the main weapons of the Chivas de Hierro is their home: Akron Stadium, which is celebrating this Sunday, July 30, since on a day like today but in 2010, it was inaugurated with a very special match between Chivas and Manchester United.
Since Veljko Paunovic's arrival at the Rebaño, this stadium has become a true Red-and-White Fortress, where Guadalajara shows its best soccer version. Chivas has played 14 times at the Akron Stadium under Pauno, winning 9, losing 4 and drawing 1.
Within the framework of this celebration, unprecedented things have also happened. Such is the case of Tapatío, which, with a squad full of youth and talent, was crowned for the first time in its history and did so at the Akron. During the Clausura 2023, the Rebaño's affiliate played 10 matches at the Fortaleza Rojiblanca and its record was positive, winning 5, drawing 3 and losing only 2.
Another reason to celebrate our home is the family atmosphere. You can arrive early and enjoy a good barbecue or any other dish inside and outside the stadium. In addition, there are always plenty of activities for both children and adults to have a good time before the start of the games.
The Akron will be a World Cup stadium in 2026, besides being able to boast that it has already hosted an Under 17 World Cup, Pan American Games, Copa Libertadores matches, Concachampions matches and multiple high-level concerts, among which Coldplay and Bruno Mars stand out.
Could it be that we will lift the 13th Cup on the 13th tear? Time will tell…

- League Championship in 2017
