"The truth is that the stadium offered FIFA many, many options, and FIFA rejected them all. Until they got to the point of 'you pay the equivalent of the most expensive ticket in the stadium for each seat and go ahead.' And it seems that's where a solution will finally be achieved. That is, the stadium will have to pay FIFA for our seats out of its own pocket."
"The representative for the Association of Estadio Banorte (Azteca) suite owners, Roberto Ruano, said on Monday that the organization is prepared to start legal proceedings against the stadium's managing company if the two parties do not agree to a solution by Sept. 9 for the owners to retain access to their seats for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. When Azteca was built in 1961, Mexican businessman Emilio Azcárraga Milmo sold luxury boxes to private investors in order to finance the construction."
Roberto Ruano, representative of an association of 134 Estadio Azteca suite owners, said the group is prepared to start legal proceedings against the stadium's managing company if no solution is reached by Sept. 9. Original contracts granted suite owners 99-year access to purchased boxes and rights to all events held at the venue. FIFA's control of the stadium for the 2026 World Cup threatens owners' access to their luxury boxes for the tournament. Owner Guillermo Torres filed a complaint with Profeco to defend owners' rights. Ruano expects the stadium to pay FIFA the cost needed to secure all suite owners' seats.
