Less than a year before the 2026 FIFA World Cup in Mexico, Canada and the United States, work is continuing at the Estadio Azteca on its remodeling. Despite this, the group in charge of this work has caused considerable concern among fans, as well as the top brass of Mexican and international soccer.
This comes as another preview has been revealed of what the legendary ‘Colossus of Santa Ursula’ will look like for the 2026 World Cup, but this has caused fans to protest, as they consider that they are quite behind, especially considering that Club America plans to return in a few months.
What does the Estadio Azteca look like 10 months before the 2026 World Cup in Mexico?
This is how Grupo Ollamani has shared important and visual information on how the legendary Estadio Azteca will look at the end of its remodeling. This has caused many reactions among fans of Mexican soccer, who are excited about the upcoming World Cup and the way in which all the works will look when finished.
Estadio Azteca: How is the renovation for 2026 going? Photos reveal apparent delay
It should be remembered that a couple of months ago, Grupo Ollamani shared on its social networks what the Estadio Azteca will look like once the remodeling work that has been carried out is completed. However, new images have been released on social networks by the Estadios de Mexico account, which show that the work is continuing in the stands, but without appearing to be nearing completion.
Thus, the Estadio Azteca currently has no seats, so work is still being carried out in all areas. However, it is also striking that in the part where the grass goes, everything is still as before, so it is not yet possible to know what it will look like until all the work is completed in the coming months.
Estadio Azteca: This is what it will look like after its renovation for the 2026 World Cup
It is important to remember that one of the main changes is, as has already been announced, that the Estadio Azteca will be renamed Estadio Banorte Azteca. Not only that, but it will have a completely new look for the arrival of the World Cup in Mexico, Canada and the United States in 2026.
This is how the ‘new’ Estadio Azteca will have a renovated pitch, a unique experience for fans, more than 2,200 square meters of LED screens, spaces and access for people with disabilities, state-of-the-art free wi-fi, elevators, restrooms, 7,120 square meters of hospitality areas, new audio systems with state-of-the-art speakers, and a modernized facade of the Estadio Azteca without losing its essence.
When will Club America return to play at the Azteca Stadium?
It is planned that Club America and Club America Femenil will be able to play at home again from the 2026 Liga MX and Liga MX Femenil Clausura tournaments, respectively. However, there is no concrete date yet, so they could begin their participation at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes, now known as Estadio Azulcrema, and then return home.
When will the Estadio Azteca be reopened with the Mexican national team?
As for the first match to be held in the remodeled Estadio Azteca, it has been said that the Mexican national team will be in charge of the reopening with a high-caliber match against a top team, but there is still nothing concrete, except that it would be in March 2026, so it is expected that the work will be completed to close everything necessary.
