Estadio Azteca to Set New World Cup Landmark
Hosting its 24th World Cup match, the legendary venue surpasses the Maracana’s record of 15.
Mexico’s Historic Home Ground
No team has been more dominant at a single World Cup venue than Mexico at the Estadio Azteca. The national side has played 11 matches there, the most by any team at a single stadium, boasting an exceptional record of 8 wins and 2 draws.
A Tale of Two Exits
Despite their stronghold on home soil, Mexico's two previous exits as World Cup hosts did not occur in Azteca.
- In 1970, Italy defeated Mexico 4-1 in Toluca.
- In 1986, West Germany eliminated the hosts on penalties in Monterrey.
