Location: Mexico City, Mexico
Capacity: 83,000
Opened: 1966
FIFA World Cup 26™ fixtures: Three group-stage matches, a Round of 32 tie and a Round of 16 contest
A true coliseum of world football and the first to host a third FIFA World Cup™, Estadio Azteca Mexico City – which welcomed the likes of Pele and Diego Maradona across two pulsating World Cup finals in 1970 and 1986 – will once again take centre stage.
The arena’s day job is to host both Club America and Cruz Azul of Liga MX as well as the Mexico national team, while Pumas, Atlante, Atletico Espanyol and Necaxa have all previously played their football here.
Estadio Azteca Mexico City was the venue for the final of the FIFA U-17 World Cup™ in 2011, when a capacity crowd of 98,943 set the record for the number of supporters at any game in the history of the prestigious youth tournament.
