El Tri to Make Estadio BBVA Debut in Nations League on 17 November as 49ers-Vikings Game Is Set for Mexico City
The venue gives Mexico a home knockout match after Estadio Banorte was ruled out by NFL preparations, with a place in the Nations League Finals at stake.
On 17 November, Tri will make its Estadio BBVA debut in Monterrey, hosting the second leg of a Concacaf Nations League quarter-final.
Estadio Banorte in Mexico City was the original choice, but Mexican media reported preparations for a San Francisco and Minnesota Vikings NFL game made the venue unavailable.
Mexico enters the tie as the reigning Concacaf Nations League champion, having won the 2024-25 competition by beating Panama 2-1 to secure its first title.
Addressing past criticism over matches in the United States, this fixture allows Tri to play a consequential knockout tie on home soil.
While the opponent remains unknown, the outcome of the first leg will determine what Tri needs to advance to the Nations League Finals.
With a rival to be defined, the Mexican National Team will receive on Tuesday, November 17, the quarterfinals of the Nations Leagues on the Rayados court.
