About Estadio Akron
Estadio Akron in Zapopan, Guadalajara brings FIFA World Cup 2026 to Mexico's second-largest city and one of its most passionate football communities. Home of Club Deportivo Guadalajara — universally known as Chivas — this 46,513-seat modern stadium opened in 2010 and quickly became one of the finest football-specific venues in Latin America. Guadalajara is a city of deep cultural heritage: birthplace of mariachi music and tequila, and home to some of Mexico's most fervent football supporters. The stadium's steep bowl design concentrates crowd noise and creates an atmosphere that visiting fans will find electrifying. For international visitors, Guadalajara offers excellent accessibility and a vibrant city experience.
Also known as Estadio Omnilife or Estadio Guadalajara, the Akron is one of the most modern football-specific stadiums in Mexico. Located in the suburb of Zapopan, its design features a distinctive curved exterior and steep sightlines that create an intense atmosphere for Liga MX matches.
