Stadium History

History

Estadio Akron, currently known as Estadio Guadalajara for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and formerly known as Estadio Omnilife and Estadio Chivas (Estadio Chivas, Spanish pronunciation: ), is a multipurpose stadium in Zapopan, near Guadalajara, in the Mexican state of Jalisco, that is used mostly for football matches. It is the home of Liga MX side Guadalajara. The stadium is named for Grupo Akron, a Mexican lubricant and fuel company. The stadium hosted its first major international event with the first leg of the 2010 Finals of the Copa Libertadores, and hosted the 2011 Pan American Games opening and closing ceremonies. The stadium's artificial field caused great controversy, drawing criticism from many notable players, and in May 2012, it was announced that the stadium would replace the artificial turf with natural grass. The stadium hosted the second game of the 2026 Fifa World Cup which was South Korea national football team vs Czech Republic national football team.
