For the first time in history, the FIFA World Cup will be hosted across three countries: Mexico, the United States, and Canada, making this one of the most anticipated global sporting events of the decade.
Mexico will proudly host matches in three iconic cities:
Mexico City – Estadio Azteca
Guadalajara – Estadio Akron
Monterrey – Estadio BBVA
Each city offers a completely different cultural flavor, atmosphere, and fan experience. Whether you’re attending matches in one city or traveling between all three, Mexico promises a football celebration unlike anything you’ve lived before.
But with millions of visitors expected, navigating Mexico as a foreigner can feel overwhelming…
