Estadio Azteca
Estadio Banorte (Estadio Azteca)
The only stadium to have hosted World Cup matches in three tournaments (1970, 1986, 2026), where legendary moments by Pelé and Maradona unfolded.
Opened in 1966, it is one of Latin America's largest football stadiums and the home ground of Club América and the Mexican national team. Pelé's Brazil won the title here in 1970. In 1986, Maradona's “Hand of God” and “Goal of the Century” both happened here, and the opening match of the 2026 World Cup will also be held here. Because of a sponsorship deal, it is now officially called Estadio Banorte. On non-match days you can take a stadium tour that includes the dressing rooms, the players' tunnel and the edge of the pitch. On match days, you can enjoy the electric atmosphere of a Club América home game. It is located in the south of the city, and you can reach Estadio Azteca station by the Tren Ligero light rail.
