Estadio Universitario

Opened in 1967, the 42,000 capacity Estadio Universitario – nicknamed El Volcán – is one of Mexico’s most storied stadiums.

The home of LigaMX side Tigres UNAL, it was given to Sinergia Deportiva, the for-profit company that administers Tigres, as part of the club’s assets.

The stadium hosted four matches at the 1986 World Cup and also hosted Coap Libertadores de America matches in 2005 and 2006 when Tigres played outside of its own confederation Concacaf in the Conmebol championship.
