About Monterrey

Monterrey is Mexico's industrial capital and most prosperous city — a modern metropolis at the foot of the Sierra Madre mountains. Home to Rayados and fierce derby rivals Tigres UANL, Monterrey stadiums are consistently among the loudest in CONCACAF.

Stadium History

Estadio BBVA opened in 2015 and is widely regarded as one of the best stadiums in Latin America. Its dramatic mountain backdrop — the Cerro de la Silla peak visible from inside — is unique in world football. It replaced Estadio Universitario and has hosted Copa MX finals and Liga MX Clásicos.
