CF AMERICA CIUDAD DE MEXICO

35 countries were affiliated with CONCACAF, although not all of them were considered ; mostly their leagues (clubs) were too weak, and would not have stood a chance of placing somewhere in the middle of their continental rankings. However any participation of clubs from the CONCACAF area in CONMEBOL club competitions was taken into account ; not only for a better global ranking but also because CONCACAF only had one club competition.

Although the lead of Club de Futbol América Ciudad de Mexico  was reduced in 2010, the metropolitan club was Central and North América’s Club of the First Decade of the 21th Century,  ahead of CD Guadalajara, the local rival CD Cruz Azul, Pachuca CF and CD Toluca. Among the “Top 18″ were 13 clubs from Mexico. The “Top 100″ was composed of clubs from 13 countries. Countries with the most clubs were : Mexico (18), USA (13), Costa Rica (11), Guatemala (10), El Salvador (10), Honduras (9), Panama (9), Nicaragua (5), Jamaica (5) and Trinidad&Tobago (5). During the first decade (2001-2010), 110 clubs amassed more than 150 points.

CF América Ciudad de Mexico was honoured by the IFFHS as Central and North América’s Club of the first decade at the World Football Gala in may 2012 in Barcelona.
