America has the doors closed in University City

Despite the opposition of the neighbors around the Azteca Stadium, it is a fact that the two-time World Cup will go into work to be remodeled and be converted into a luxury venue that meets FIFA requirements to host the World Cup of 2026 shared by the United States, Canada and of course Mexico.

Work is expected to begin in late 2023 or early 2024 and a minimum of one year of work is valued, during which time both América and Cruz Azul will be homeless and will seek a provisional stadium. The sky-blue will return to the Ciudad de los Deportes Stadium, at the time known as the Blue Stadium, while those from Coapa are still thinking of options, however, they already have one completely ruled out.

The National Autonomous University of Mexico will not agree to America playing its home games inside the University Olympic Stadium, the home of the Pumas and which seemed the most viable potion for those from Coapa, who, everything indicates that they will have to play outside the Mexico City. The team’s board values ​​a national and international tour, playing at home in different states of Mexico and the United States, seeking to assert the myth “wherever America plays, it’s always the local.”
