Making its second CONCACAF Champions League appearance, CSD Municipal is the definition of success in Guatemalan football. No club has won more league titles (28), its the lone Guatemalan squad to win the CONCACAF Champions Cup, in 1974, and finished as runner-up in the Copa Interamericana in 1974, the best finish by a Guatemalan club. Since the Guatemalan league switched to the Apertura/Clausura format in 2000, the Rojos, who play in Estadio Mateo Flores, a 30,000-seat stadium in Guatemala City, has won 13 of the 22 titles. Coached by Uruguayan Manuel Keosseian, who previously managed Honduran side Marathon in the Champions League, Municipal is led by captain Juan Carlos Plata, the most prolific scorer in the history of Guatemala's top division. He has 299 goals in 20 years with Municipal and 35 more for the Guatemalan national team, second only to Carlos Ruiz.
