Overview

  • New dressing rooms are taking shape while hospitality boxes are under reconstruction and giant screens have been removed for upgraded installations.
  • Construction cranes remain on the playing field and the pitch is not yet match-ready less than a year before the June 11 opener.
  • Leaked images shared by ESTADIOSdeMÉXICO on X have prompted fan frustration over the perceived slow pace of the renovation.
  • The Mexico City government has formally scheduled the stadium’s reinauguration for March 28, 2026 to meet World Cup requirements.
  • Banorte’s corporate signage will be stripped under FIFA branding rules, temporarily rebranding the site as Estadio Ciudad de México during the tournament.
