The first and only city in history to host three FIFA World Cups (1970, 1986, 2026).
Mexico City sits at 2,240 m (7,350 ft) — the highest elevation of any 2026 host city, which affects how the ball travels and how players manage stamina.
Estadio Azteca opened the 2026 tournament on June 11 — the same role it played in 1970 and 1986.
