Overview
- Fresh field-level videos confirm the hybrid turf is installed, with local outlets reporting the stadium is slated to host the June 11 World Cup opener against South Africa.
- Recent clips show red and gray seating, new video boards, renovated access points and media areas, with upper-stand seating largely in place.
- Contractors advanced drainage, leveling and sub-surface works before laying the FIFA-standard hybrid surface designed for heavy use.
- During the tournament the venue will be labeled Estadio Ciudad de México under FIFA naming rules, while post-event Banorte branding and red seats are tied to sponsorship, according to reports.
- Post-World Cup allocation is taking shape in local reporting, with América set to return, Cruz Azul and Atlante potential co-tenants, and América Femenil likely shifting most home matches to Coapa’s Centenario field.
