Estadio Azteca
Estadio Azteca is a multi-purpose stadium located in Mexico City, and it is the official home of Club América and the Mexico national football team. The stadium sits at an altitude of 2,200 m above sea level. With an authorized capacity of 87,523, it is the biggest stadium in Mexico.
Considered one of the most well-known and iconic football stadiums in the world, it is the first to have hosted two FIFA World Cup Finals; in the 1970 World Cup Final, Brazil defeated Italy 4–1, and in the 1986 World Cup Final, Argentina beat West Germany 3–2. It also hosted the 1986 quarter-final match between Argentina and England in which Diego Maradona scored both the “Hand of God goal” and the “Goal of the Century.” The Estadio Azteca is the sole football stadium in the world to have both Pelé and Diego Maradona win Fifa World Cups; the two are considered the greatest football players of the twentieth century.
As of 2018, the stadium also serves as the home of Cruz Azul.
The National Football League features one game at Estadio Azteca per season as a part of their International Series.
