"Estadio Akron is the smallest of World Cup 2026's three Mexican stadiums and will be the venue for just four matches, all of them in the group stage and including Mexico's game against South Korea. It's one of 16 World Cup 2026 venues across the United States, Mexico and Canada, and is the farthest west of Mexico's three stadiums. FourFourTwo has the complete lowdown on this World Cup stadium, from the capacity and history of Estadio Akron to its usage at World Cup 2026."
"Estadio Akron is in the city of Zapopan, Mexico, and will host World Cup 2026 matches as Estadio Guadalajara. Zapopan is part of the Guadalajara metropolitan area in the western coastal state of Jalisco. Since 2010, Estadio Akron has been the home stadium of Chivas de Guadalajara, one of Mexico's most famous football clubs. Estadio Jalisco, south-east of Zapopan in Guadalajara itself, hosted matches at both of Mexico's previous World Cups."
"Only Toronto's BMO Field will be smaller than Estadio Akron, which is roughly half the expected capacity of AT&T Stadium in Texas, the World Cup's largest venue in 2026. While only four matches will be played there, Mexico's all-important second group stage fixture is bound for Zapopan in June. Estadio Akron has been the venue for three international friendlies involving El Tri a win, a draw and a defeat. It opened in 2010 and has been CD Guadalajara's home since the tape was cut."
