Alonso Escoboza, Alan Medina, Gio dos Santos and Sergio Díaz were some of the departures for the 2021 Liga MX Apertura.
América's reinforcements
América had few movements for this tournament, highlighting the return of Miguel Layún and the incorporation of Salvador Reyes and Fernando Madrigal.

Last games
Due to the fact that the Potros have been playing in the Second Division since 2014, one of the longest-running matches in the history of Liga MX has not had as many encounters in recent years and they have only met in friendly matches. The last time Atlante played against América at the Estadio Azteca in an official game was in the Clausura 2014, when they lost by the minimum difference with a goal by Miguel Layún.
Key player Atlante
Although he arrived late last season, Ramiro Costa was fundamental for the Potros to reach the playoffs in the Liga de Expansión MX and reach the semifinals, where they lost to Atlético Morelia, the Argentine being a key player to reach the final stages.
Key player America
Óscar Jiménez has had a great preseason and will be in charge of goalkeeping, as Guillermo Ochoa is playing in the Olympic Games. So far in three games he has not conceded a goal and his saves have helped the team to win.
Last Team Atlante
This was Mario García's last roster to face Morelia in the semifinals of the Liga de Expansión MX:
Muñoz, García, García, Partida, Alaffita, Souza, Venegas, García, Tejeda, Ronaldo González, Rolando González, Moragrega.
Last Team America
This was the squad with which Santiago Solari came out to face Tigres last Saturday.
Jiménez, Cáceres, Aguilera, Fuentes, Layún, Aquino, Madrigal, Lainez, Fidalgo, Suárez, Roger Martínez.
Confidence in the project
Atlante had some significant changes for the Apertura 2021 where some of its main players such as Luis García, Ronaldo González and Vladimir Moragrega received an opportunity in the Maximum Circuit; however, the azulgrana squad has been reinforced with young elements and under the guidance of Mario García is expected to be competing for the title at the end of December.
The game will be played without spectators
Due to the increase in cases of coronavirus in the country and, mainly in Mexico City, this match will be played behind closed doors and most probably both America and Atlante will have to start without fans in the stands from August onwards, pending confirmation from the health authorities.
New plumage
The Aguilas presented their new home kit yesterday, so they will be showing it for the first time at the Azteca Stadium and, at the same time, they will present their reinforcements for next season, such as the return of Miguel Layún and the incorporation of Fernando Madrigal.
Last preparation game
Both America and Atlante will have their last preparation game ahead of the start of their respective tournaments in the 2021 Apertura, highlighting that both have had good results in the preseason and hope to be among the leaders in Mexican soccer.
Kick-off time
The America vs Atlante match will be played at the Azteca Stadium, in Mexico City, Mexico. The kick-off is scheduled at 8pm ET.
