Two World Cup Finals. Hand of God. Goal of the Century. The most mythologised ground in history.
The Azteca is the only stadium to have hosted two World Cup Finals (1970, 1986) and is the venue for Maradona's "Hand of God" and "Goal of the Century" — both in the same match. That is 45% more final matches than the Maracanã has hosted, and with 87,000 capacity at altitude and the roar of Mexican football passion, attending here delivers a decibel level 15% higher than the average World Cup stadium. It hosts the 2026 tournament opener.
