Azteca is the third largest sports facility in the world. The Latin American arena is located in Mexico City. Accommodates 105,000 football fans. The stadium hosted 2 World Cup finals. The final games, held in 1986, are known for the “Bare of the Century”, scored by D. Maradona. The star player was then able to score the ball with his hand, with the result that the Argentine team became the winner of the World Cup. During breaks between football matches, major events take place here in the presence of hundreds of thousands of spectators. So, for example, in 1993 M. Jackson performed at the stadium with his program, and in 1999, John Paul II met with the people of Mexico. The arena was opened in 1966.
