Azteca Stadium will become a tourist accommodation before the World Cup
The legendary Azteca Stadium will offer a unique Airbnb experience for fans during the World Cup 2026.
The iconic Azteca Stadium, which will host the opening of the 2026 World Cup on June 11, is set to transform into a one-night Airbnb accommodation for four lucky fans, as announced by the booking platform on Tuesday (17). The event is designed to give fans an unforgettable experience at this historic venue, which is colloquially known as "El Coloso de Santa Úrsula" in its surrounding neighborhood. The designated host for this exclusive stay is none other than Mexican football legend Hugo Sánchez, renowned for his impressive five Pichichi Trophies, an accolade awarded to the leading scorer in La Liga. The Airbnb listing promises a luxurious stay complete with exclusive access and even tickets to attend the inaugural game of the World Cup 2026, where Mexico will face South Africa—adding excitement for football enthusiasts. Reservations for this unique overnight experience will open on March 23 and are free of charge, making it accessible for fans eager to enjoy a night in the stadium's luxury suite. This initiative not only promotes the upcoming World Cup but also emphasizes the cultural significance of the Azteca Stadium in the realm of global football, merging tourism with sports in a creative and appealing way.
