Estadio Azteca is one of the most legendary stadiums in world football. It has hosted two World Cup Finals (1970 and 1986), including Pelé's 1,000th goal and Maradona's 'Hand of God' and 'Goal of the Century'. In 2026, it becomes the first stadium to host three World Cups as it stages the Opening Match. The iconic venue sits at 2,200m altitude, affecting ball flight and player stamina.
