The historic Azteca Stadium in Mexico City is undergoing its largest renovation since it was built in 1966, in preparation to become the first stadium in the world to host three World Cup opening matches. The renovation includes the development of a new hybrid pitch, additional seating, a modern dugout, and an advanced digital interactive system that rivals the best stadiums worldwide, all while preserving the authentic spirit that football fans in Mexico have always cherished.
