Estadio Banorte

The 1966 opening of the ground in Coyoacán was not a quiet affair. The official football attendance record has stood since July 7, 1968 , when 119,853 spectators watched Brazil play Mexico in a friendly, a crowd that compressed into the original 107,000-seat bowl. The capacity sits at 87,523 today; the reduction came during a 2015–2016 renovation completed in November of that year for the stadium's 50th anniversary, a project that tightened the seating.

It is the only one in history to host two FIFA World Cup finals: the 1970 final between Brazil and Italy, and the 1986 final between Argentina and West Germany. The surface is a GrassMaster hybrid system, a natural grass reinforced with artificial fibres that has seen everything from the 1986 match where referee Antonio Márquez Rodríguez ejected all 22 players during a brawl between América and Guadalajara, to the 2001 "Aztecazo" where Mexico lost 1–2 to Costa Rica and things came to a head.

Club América has played here since the opening day in 1966, while Atlante FC returns for the Apertura 2026 season after a long absence. The Mexico National Football Team uses it as its primary home venue, and the ground recently underwent another renovation costing approximately $75 million USD, completed between 2024 and 2026 , to prepare for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The stadium's current name, Estadio Banorte, reflects a sponsorship deal that replaced the original Estadio Azteca title. The address, Calzada de Tlalpan 3465, places it in the Coyoacán borough.
