After 1970 and 1986, Estadio Azteca becomes the first stadium ever to host matches at three different World Cups.
Estadio Azteca staged the 1970 final between Brazil and Italy, and the 1986 final between Argentina and West Germany. It is also remembered for Maradona's 'Hand of God' and 'Goal of the Century'.
For 2026, the stadium has been renovated to meet modern FIFA standards and will host the opening match.
No other venue in the world holds this distinction, cementing Azteca's place in football history.
