About Estadio BBVA
Estadio BBVA in Monterrey, Mexico is arguably the most visually spectacular venue in FIFA World Cup 2026. Home of CF Monterrey (Rayados), this 53,500-seat ultra-modern stadium opened in 2015 and is set dramatically in the foothills of the Sierra Madre Oriental mountains — with breathtaking mountain views visible from virtually every seat in the house. Designed by global sports architects Populous, the stadium is located in the Guadalupe municipality on the eastern edge of Monterrey, Mexico's most industrial and economically powerful city — just 240 km from the US border. Monterrey's proximity to Texas will draw enormous numbers of US-based fans, particularly for Mexican national team fixtures, creating extraordinary atmospheres.
Estadio BBVA is widely regarded as one of Latin America's most visually stunning sports venues. Nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Madre Oriental mountains on the outskirts of Monterrey, the ultra-modern design by Populous features dramatic mountain backdrops visible from every seat. Located close to the US border, Monterrey attracts significant cross-border fan interest.
