América aim to bring a European giant for Estadio Azteca’s grand reopening | OneFootball

We are just a few months away from the reopening of the Azteca Stadium (now called Banorte Stadium), after the renovation it is undergoing in preparation for the 2026 World Cup.

It is already known that the Mexican National Team will reopen the venue in March by hosting Portugal in a match where it is expected that global star, Cristiano Ronaldo, will be present.

And the Club América does not want to be left behind, so they are also looking to host a European giant and currently have on their agenda Real Madrid and Barcelona from Spain and PSG from France, according to ‘W Sports’.

The main candidate would be the 'merengues', the eagles are prioritizing bringing the club with the most trophies in Europe, although it should be noted that they have a much better relationship with FC Barcelona, and even the women's team has already played twice in Mexico in recent years.

And as a third option, there is Paris Saint-Germain, the UEFA Champions League champion and one of the clubs that currently have the best level.

When could this match be played?

Perhaps the biggest problem is defining a specific date for this, as it is most likely to be after the World Cup.

This is because it is almost impossible to bring a European team in mid-season, so the most suitable date would be at the end of July or beginning of August.

We will have to wait to know more specifically how all this will be, but it is a fact that the eagles will be looking to reopen the stadium against a big club from Europe.
