América de Cali SA, best known as América de Cali or América, is a professional football club based in Cali, Colombia, competing in the Categoría Primera A (2023), the top division of the Colombian Professional Football League. This unofficial América de Cali fan flag (Spanish: bandera no oficial de América de Cali) consists of the team's official logo and a red background derived from the team jersey.
The América de Cali logo bears a rich and symbolic history. It features a distinctive depiction of a devil-like football player engaged in a game, positioned beneath the team's name, all set within a white shield with a red border. This unique image has its origins in the belief that football players give their all and "play like the devil" on the field, and it was first introduced to the club's coat of arms in 1940 to embody this spirit. While it was temporarily abandoned, this iconic figure has endured and remains a part of the club's logo today. The logo serves as a testament to América de Cali's passion for the sport, its enduring traditions, and the relentless determination of its players, making it a symbol of pride and identity for both the club and its dedicated fanbase.
