About the stadium: Estadio Azteca

Estadio Azteca, opened in 1966, is the most legendary stadium in world football history. It is the only venue to have hosted two World Cup Finals (1970 and 1986), witnessing immortal moments such as Diego Maradona's "Goal of the Century" and the "Hand of God."

With a capacity of 87,523 spectators, the Azteca will become the first stadium to host matches in three different World Cups in 2026. Its history, unique atmosphere, and the passion of the Mexican fans make it a sacred temple of football that every fan should visit at least once in their lifetime.
