Estadio Azteca is the most historic venue in World Cup 2026 and has already hosted two FIFA World Cup finals (1970 and 1986). Home of Club América and the Mexico national team, the Azteca is the only stadium to have hosted a World Cup final on two occasions. The 1986 quarter-final between Argentina and England — featuring Maradona's "Hand of God" — remains one of the most iconic moments in football history.
