Über das Stadion
Inaugurated in 1966 and perched 2,200 m above sea level, the Estadio Azteca is the spiritual home of Mexican football and of Club América. It is the first stadium to host three editions of the men’s World Cup.
Its turf has staged some of the game’s defining moments — Pelé’s 1970 final, and in 1986 both Diego Maradona’s “Hand of God” and “Goal of the Century” against England and his title-winning final.
