FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium is set to host its first international soccer match when Liga MX rivals Club América and Club Tigres face off in the Golden Clash on March 28 as part of a men’s and women’s doubleheader.

This world-class soccer event will feature two matches: the clubs’ women’s teams will kick off at 2 p.m., followed by the men’s match at 5 p.m.

“We’re excited to bring an international spotlight to the University of Arkansas and all of Northwest Arkansas with two of the top club teams in the world in Club América and Club Tigres,” Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics Hunter Yurachek said. “With our country being a part of hosting the World Cup this summer, we’re thrilled to put Razorback Stadium on a global stage.”

Both men’s teams have been among Liga MX’s leading clubs over the past 10 years, becoming the league’s most successful during that span – Club América and Club Tigres with four league titles each.

Founded in 1916 and based in Mexico City, the club has won 16 Liga MX titles – the most in league history-. On the women´s side Club América has won two Liga MX Femenil titles.
