Known for its mariachi music and for being a gateway to Mexico's tequila country, Guadalajara promises an authentic experience for football fans travelling to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Located in the state of Jalisco, Mexico's second-largest city will host four World Cup group-stage matches at Estadio Akron, which will be known as Guadalajara Stadium during the tournament, including the co-host nation’s second group game.

This is the third time a World Cup has been held in Guadalajara, after previously staging matches in 1970 and 1986.

For this summer's edition, it is one of the country’s three host cities, alongside Mexico City and Monterrey.
