Soccer in Mexico City

Fútbol is the sport that Mexicans are most passionate about, which is evident in the size of their soccer stadium, Estadio Azteca (Calz. de Tlalpan 3465, Tlalpan. 55/5617-8080), the second largest in Latin America and home of the Aguilas de América, one of Mexico's top fútbol teams. The World Cup Finals were held here in 1970 and 1986. You can buy tickets outside the stadium in the south of the city on the same day of any minor game. For more important games, buy tickets a week in advance. The Pumas, a popular university-sponsored team, play at Estadio Olímpico, Avenida Insurgentes Sur at Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Ciudad Universitaria. Tickets sell fast for Pumas games, so the best bet is to order them through Ticketmaster at 55/5325-9000 or online at www.ticketmaster.com.mx.
