About Estadio BBVA
Estadio BBVA in Monterrey is arguably the most visually spectacular venue in the entire 2026 World Cup. The Sierra Madre mountains form a dramatic natural backdrop behind one of the stands — players warming up will look up and see a mountain range towering above them. Home of CF Monterrey, the stadium opened in 2015 and is widely regarded as one of the finest club stadiums in Latin America.
The altitude in Monterrey — 540 metres above sea level — will be a factor for some teams. The heat will be another. But the setting is unlike anything else in the tournament.
