Mexico City.– The NFL awaits the green light to return to Mexico in 2024.
The Azteca Stadium will not have an official game in this year’s season because the NFL requested a pause for the remodeling work that will take place towards the 2026 World Cup.
“Indeed, this year we will not have a game due to the special circumstances of the closure of the Azteca Stadium due to remodeling for the 2026 World Cup. This year we will be doing many activities in the community, and with the hope that we will resume that positive inertia with the game, starting in 2024” , said Arturo Olivé, director of NFL Mexico and who attended the Tochito NFL Reading AEFCM Tournament.
When would the NFL return?
“They have not fully confirmed their plans to us, we have conversations scheduled for the month of June, once the Liga MX tournament is over to learn about their plans, and resume the initiative of the annual games. And NFL in the United States He is very aware of this. The Azteca Stadium has been our home and this year they asked us for a break”.
Ironically, Santiago Baños, president of América, said this week that the Azteca would not start remodeling work until the end of 2024, so if this materializes, the NFL and Mexico would have lost the 2023 game without any cause.
