Mexican football is preparing for a grand celebration. Club América, in celebration of its 109th anniversary, is organizing a historic event: the reopening of the iconic Estadio Azteca, one of the most famous sports arenas in the world. This highly anticipated event is scheduled for October 12, 2025, and one of the top contenders to face América in this major event is Real Madrid.

Although not officially confirmed yet, sources close to the Mexican club have revealed that the Spanish giants are the primary candidate to play in the reopening of the renovated stadium. The chosen date coincides with the FIFA Date (October 6 to 14), making it easier for international teams to arrive, though without their star players, as they will be focused on international duties with their respective national teams.

The renovation of Estadio Azteca is progressing as planned but is facing significant challenges, such as the demolition of certain stands and the construction of new locker rooms with direct access to the field, a request from FIFA for the 2026 World Cup. Despite this, Club América hopes to open the stadium’s doors ahead of schedule, even if some areas are not fully completed.

If Real Madrid is unable to participate, other major European clubs, such as Barcelona and Bayern Munich, are also considered viable options. This event would not only mark a milestone in América's history but also place Mexican football in the international spotlight, showcasing the rebirth of Estadio Azteca as a hub of top-tier sports emotions. The countdown has begun, and Estadio Azteca is more than ready to roar again in 2025.
