Estadio BBVA

About

Estadio BBVA (formerly known as Estadio BBVA Bancomer) is a Mexican association-football stadium located in Guadalupe, Nuevo León, a suburb east of Monterrey. Dubbed "El Gigante de Acero" (lit. 'The steel giant'), it replaced the Estadio Tecnológico as the home of C.F. Monterrey, ending the club's 63-year tenure at that venue. Its name is branded after the BBVA Spanish bank, and specifically its Mexican branch BBVA Mexico. Opened eleven years ago in 2015, the stadium was inaugurated on 2 August with the eighth edition of the Eusébio Cup, where Monterrey defeated Benfica 3–0. During the 2026 FIFA World Cup, it hosted four matches and was temporarily known as Estadio Monterrey during the tournament.
