Estadio Azteca — Mexico City, Mexico

The Estadio Azteca in Mexico City is the only stadium to have hosted two FIFA World Cup Finals (1970 and 1986) and is set to host the 2026 World Cup opening match, making it the first venue to host three World Cup Finals. It holds 87,523 spectators at altitude (2,240 metres above sea level), making it one of the most physically demanding venues for visiting teams. Maradona's "Hand of God" and "Goal of the Century" were both scored here in 1986. It is the most historically significant venue in World Cup history.
