                               EL CLASICO

 Mr. OSSOFF. Madam President, I rise today to celebrate the 
duel between two titans and legends of Mexican soccer at el Super 
Clasico, the Club Deportivo de Guadalajara ``Chivas'' and Club 
America--a duel that will be celebrated in my home city of Atlanta, GA, 
on September 25, 2022.
  The city of Atlanta and the State of Georgia are home to rich, 
vibrant, and celebrated Latino communities. I am thrilled to honor the 
contributions of the Hispanic community in Georgia during Hispanic 
Heritage Month by hosting these soccer legends in what will go down in 
history as one of the greatest games our continent has ever seen.
  This world-renowned match has brought thousands of soccer fans in 
Mexico and the United States together for almost 80 years to celebrate 
the history and unmatched rivalry of these soccer titans, a passion 
that unites us.
  Founded 103 years ago, Club America has won a total of 35 official 
national and international titles. Club Deportivo Chivas de Guadalajara 
has obtained a total of 26 national and international championships. In 
the last 5 years, the Chivas and America have played for sold-out 
crowds in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Dallas. And this year in Atlanta 
will not be different.
  I join with our community to witness the legacy of this beautiful 
game that reminds us of the unbreakable bond we share.
  May tradition, history, and legacy guide our continued commitment to 
celebrate what unites us.
