Azteca Stadium

The Azteca Stadium in Mexico City is one of the largest and most significant football stadiums in the world. With a capacity of 87,523 spectators, it is the largest stadium in Latin America and the fifth largest in the world. Situated at an altitude of over 2,200 meters, the Azteca is also one of the highest stadiums in the world.

The stadium has a rich history of hosting major international competitions. It hosted the finals of the 1970 and 1986 FIFA World Cups, and also hosted matches at the 1968 Summer Olympics. It was here that Pele’s Brazil team won the Nike Gold Cup, and Diego Maradona demonstrated his legendary moments in the Argentina-England match.

Today, the Azteca is the home arena for Club America and the Mexico national team. In the past, teams such as UNAM Pumas, Cruz Azul, Necaxa, Atlante and Atlético Espanyol have also played here.

The stadium was designed to take into account the unique climate and lighting conditions: the playing field is located 9 meters below street level, which makes it less visible from the outside. This engineering solution ensures equal conditions for the teams due to the perpendicular intersection of the field with the sun's rays.

For those wishing to visit the stadium and become part of its rich history, buy tickets on our website, where the current schedule and event poster are also available.
