Monterrey hosts four matches at Estadio BBVA, including a Round of 32 knockout fixture.
The stadium
Estadio BBVA. Known locally as 'El Gigante de Acero,' Estadio BBVA is in Guadalupe on the eastern side of the Monterrey metro area, with a striking view of Cerro de la Silla.
Getting there
Metrorrey does not reach the stadium directly; match-day shuttles from Estadio Universitario and rideshare are the standard options, with on-site parking pre-sold.
Connectivity in Monterrey
Telcel leads in-venue coverage with dense 4G/5G, while AT&T Mexico and Movistar both deliver solid service in the bowl and surrounding lots.
