The governor of the Mexican state of Nuevo León, Samuel García, voiced his disappointment after it was confirmed the Mexico national team won’t play a single game in the state’s host city of Monterrey during its home 2026 World Cup campaign.
Monterrey’s Estadio BBVA, home of Liga MX outfit Rayados de Monterrey, will host four games during the 2026 World Cup, but the Mexico national team won’t make a trip to the North East city, instead playing twice in Mexico City and once in the city of Guadalajara in the state of Jalisco during the group stage.
