A year and a half has passed since Club América had to leave the Estadio Azteca due to the start of its remodeling ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

We are now just a couple of months away from the venue being reopened with the match between the Mexican National Team and the Portuguese National Team on March 28, which will mark Cristiano Ronaldo's first visit to Mexico.

However, there were many doubts about when Las Águilas would be able to return to play at their stadium, and many pointed out that it would not be until the Apertura 2026, but fortunately, it will be much sooner than that.

According to information from ‘Claro Sports’, Club América will be returning to the venue on April 11 when they host Cruz Azul in matchday 14 of the Clausura 2026.

From then on, they will play their home games there for a month, until FIFA takes control of the stadium for the World Cup, which will happen on May 11.

Which matches would América play at Estadio Banorte?

There would be three Liga MX matches, against Cruz Azul, Toluca, and Atlas, as part of matchdays 14, 15, and 17, respectively.

To this, we could add two more matches; if they advance to the quarterfinals of the Concachampions, they could play their match there, with a high possibility that it would be against Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami.

And if they manage to reach the semifinals, they would also play as the home team there, before saying goodbye and having to return to Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes in the month of May.
