Stadium history and area

Estadio Azteca / Estadio Banorte

About the stadium

Mexico City Stadium is the tournament name for the historic Estadio Azteca site, now branded Estadio Banorte, in the Coyoacan area of Mexico City.

Stadium history

  • The stadium opened in 1966 and hosted the FIFA World Cup finals in 1970 and 1986.
  • It is scheduled to host the opening match of FIFA World Cup 26, making the site the first stadium to stage matches at three men's World Cups.
  • For FIFA World Cup 26, Mexico City is scheduled for three group-stage fixtures and two knockout matches.

Area context

  • The stadium sits in southern Mexico City, where altitude, traffic and weather can all affect matchday comfort.
  • Coyoacan and nearby neighbourhoods can support a wider city itinerary, but stadium travel should be planned separately from central historic-district sightseeing.

Getting around

  • Metro, light-rail connections, shuttles, taxis and rideshare can all be part of the matchday plan depending on official event controls.
  • Allow extra time for security perimeters, altitude adjustment and traffic around Calzada de Tlalpan.
