The Concacaf Champions Cup begins with Olimpia hosting Club America in the first leg of their round-of-16 matchup. Olimpia, returning to the competition for the first time since 2023, qualified as a semifinalist in the 2025 Concacaf Central American Cup and has a strong start in the Honduran Clausura with three wins and one draw. Club America, seeking its eighth title, qualified as the 2024 Liga MX Apertura champion, but has had a mixed Clausura with one win, two draws, and one loss. The match is scheduled for February 3, 2026, at the Chelato Uclés Stadium in Tegucigalpa, with a second leg in Mexico City on February 11. The predicted result is a 1-1 draw, with America having the talent advantage. The game will be streamed on Fox One, VIX, and TUDN App, with live updates available on VAVEL. America’s lineup is expected to include Luis Ángel Malagón in goal, with a defense of Kevin Álvarez, Sebastián Cáceres, Ramón Juárez, and Cristian Borja; midfielders Alan Cervantes, Rodrigo Dourado, and Erick Sánchez; and attackers Brian Rodríguez, Víctor Dávila, and Zúñiga. Olimpia’s probable lineup features Edrick Menjívar in goal, with defenders Maynor Núñez, José García, Axel Maldonado, and Carlos Sánchez; midfielders Jamir Maldonado, Agustín Mulet, Jorge Álvarez, and Arzu Maynor; and forwards Jorge Benguché and Elvin Solano. The match referees are from the United States, led by Ismail Elfath. The game is expected to be challenging for America due to Central American field conditions and squad transitions following recent player departures. The winner will advance to face either Philadelphia Union or Defence Force in the next round.
