Overview
- The club designated Puebla’s Estadio Cuauhtémoc as its home for the Clausura 2026 after UNAM declined to renew the Ciudad Universitaria agreement.
- Cruz Azul debuted there with a 2-0 win over Atlas and is set to play Puebla at the venue Saturday night.
- The 135-kilometre distance from the La Noria training base is reshaping travel, routines and fan access, reducing typical home-field familiarity.
- Attendance has been thin, with 7,519 at the midweek debut and roughly half the seats still available hours before the Puebla match, according to local reports.
- Despite a 2021 five-year stadium goal and a reported $300–$500 million cooperative budget, no land or approved plan exists for a club-owned venue.
