According to an announcement made by Grupo Ollamani, as part of new commercial partnerships, Estadio Azteca will now be known as Estadio Banorte. This change is directly linked to the ongoing modernization of the venue, which began in mid-2024, aiming to prepare the stadium for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

One of the most modern stadiums in the world

The official statement reads: Banorte and Grupo Ollamani proudly announce a partnership that includes financing, advertising, and sponsorship elements to modernize and transform this historic stadium, a symbol of Mexican football and culture. From today, the Cathedral of World Football will be known as Estadio Banorte.

The agreement includes financing worth 2.1 billion pesos. Since its inauguration in 1966, the stadium has carried the name Estadio Azteca. It has hosted legendary events such as the FIFA World Cup, the Olympic Games, the FIFA Confederations Cup, the CONCACAF Gold Cup, the U-20 and U-17 World Cups, as well as international tournaments like Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana, along with concerts and religious events.
