As preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup intensify, the iconic Estadio Azteca—one of football’s most historic venues—is undergoing a major overhaul. Now officially rebranded as Estadio Banorte following a high-profile partnership between Grupo Ollamani and Banorte Bank, the stadium is set to become one of the most modern and luxurious football arenas in the Americas.

Architectural and Structural Renovations

The renovation project is far more than cosmetic. Key structural changes include:

  • Completely redesigned exterior façade featuring high-performance, sustainable cladding materials aimed at enhancing energy efficiency and weather resistance.
  • Upgraded roof structure, using lightweight tensile materials to provide improved coverage for fans while allowing more natural light onto the pitch.
  • Expansion of hospitality areas, including premium skyboxes, club lounges, and VIP seating zones, with state-of-the-art amenities.
  • Increased seating comfort, with new ergonomic seating installed throughout the stadium and optimized sightlines across all tiers.
  • Revamped internal circulation, including wider concourses, more elevators and escalators, and improved accessibility for fans with disabilities.

Technology and Infrastructure Enhancements

Modern technology lies at the heart of the renovation:

  • LED lighting system capable of dynamic match-day light shows and compliant with FIFA’s broadcast requirements.
  • 4K-ready giant screens and a new sound system designed for enhanced in-stadium experience.
  • Smart stadium integration, featuring high-speed Wi-Fi, mobile app connectivity, and digital ticketing solutions.
  • Enhanced security and surveillance systems, with AI-assisted crowd monitoring for improved safety and emergency response.

New Design Identity

The redesigned interior incorporates bold red accents, reflecting Banorte’s brand identity, while maintaining visual elements that honor the stadium’s historic legacy. The infamous “Coloso de Santa Úrsula” will keep its symbolic presence, blending heritage with cutting-edge design.

World Cup Standards and Long-Term Vision

The renovation ensures full compliance with FIFA’s requirements for World Cup venues, including:

  • Player facilities (locker rooms, mixed zones, and press areas) expanded and modernized.
  • Media infrastructure tailored for international coverage.
  • Upgraded pitch drainage and irrigation systems to meet elite playability standards.

Beyond the 2026 World Cup, the goal is to make Estadio Banorte a year-round multi-purpose venue capable of hosting international concerts, esports tournaments, and other large-scale events.

When Will Club América Return?

Club América is expected to return to their revamped home in Apertura 2026, after nearly two years at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes. Although construction may wrap up as early as February or March 2026, the Mexican national team is scheduled to inaugurate the venue with a pre-World Cup friendly match. The Águilas will then reclaim their home turf—this time in a stadium ready to shape a new chapter in their storied legacy.
