Estadio Azteca holds a special place in the hearts of football fans worldwide. Located in Mexico City, it is the only stadium to have hosted two FIFA World Cup finals—in 1970 and 1986. The latter featured Diego Maradona’s unforgettable "Hand of God" goal and his stunning solo effort against England, cementing the venue’s place in football history. Opened in 1966, Estadio Azteca is an architectural feat, with a design that ensures excellent sightlines and acoustics for its massive capacity. The stadium’s passionate fanbase, known for their vibrant chants and unwavering support, creates an atmosphere that is both electric and intimidating for opposing teams. Whether it’s a match featuring Mexico’s national team, El Tri, or a club game with local giants Club América, the energy inside Estadio Azteca is unmatched.
