The opening game of the 2026 World Cup will take place in Mexico City’s venerable Aztec Stadium.
The world association FIFA announced this at a big live show in Miami on Sunday. This decision was expected in advance. In addition to Mexico, the USA and Canada are hosting the World Cup.
The legendary stadium in Mexico’s capital will become the first arena in World Cup history to host games in three finals. Both the 1986 World Cup with the famous “Hand of God” by Argentina legend Diego Maradona in the quarter-finals against England and the 1970 finals with the German “game of the century” in the semi-finals against Italy took place there.
