Mexico City
The Estadio Azteca is sacred ground in world football — it hosted both the 1970 and 1986 World Cup Finals, witnessed Maradona's Hand of God and Goal of the Century, and has an atmosphere that cannot be replicated anywhere. At 2,240 meters above sea level, altitude is a significant factor for visiting teams and fans.
