How the Connection Between Chivas and Its Fans Was Built in CL26

Throughout the tournament, El Rebaño enjoyed unwavering support in every match, both at home and on the road. Estadio AKRON served as the epicenter of that connection, with supporters creating an unmatched atmosphere and establishing themselves as the true 12th player in every game. Together, team and fans built a streak of 14 consecutive home matches without defeat, a run they will look to extend even further in Apertura 2026.

During the Clausura 2026 regular season, a total of 347,130 supporters attended La Casa de los Mexicanos to cheer on their Chivas, with average attendance reaching nearly 39,000 spectators per match. In addition, more than 50,000 Rojiblancos packed Estadio Jalisco for the second leg of the Semifinals against Cruz Azul.

The support of the Chivahermanos was not limited to Guadalajara, as their presence was felt across the country. In every away match, El Rebaño generated tremendous anticipation, reflected in the 370,457 fans who attended the club’s nine road fixtures, averaging more than 41,000 spectators per game.

Special mention must be made of the tournament’s highest-attended match, which featured Chivas. The first leg of the Semifinals against Cruz Azul at Estadio Azteca drew 63,375 spectators, the majority of whom were Rojiblancos.

The response from the Chivahermanos matched the outstanding semester delivered by the team. Guadalajara competed for the top spot throughout much of the tournament, set new club records for points and victories in a short tournament format, and reached the Semifinals, all while being backed by a passionate fan base that never stopped believing.
