The historic opening match of the 2026 World Cup will take place at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City on June 11, 2026. Built in 1966, this legendary stadium has hosted two World Cup finals (1970 and 1986) and witnessed iconic moments like Pelé’s “Goal of the Century” (1970) and Diego Maradona’s “Hand of God” (1986).
With a seating capacity of 87,523, it remains one of the largest and most culturally significant football venues in the world.
Choosing Azteca as the opener honors football history while celebrating Mexico’s passion for the sport.
