Summer 2026 will bring soccer fever to Guadalajara as Estadio Akron gears up to host four electrifying FIFA World Cup group-stage matches — including Mexico’s highly anticipated second game on June 18. With a metro population just over five million, Guadalajara combines soccer culture with the ease of exploring a city that’s far more manageable than Mexico City. Home to renowned teams Chivas, Atlas F.C., and C.D. Guadalajara Femenil, the game is deeply woven into the fabric of life here, creating an unmatched atmosphere that spills out of the stadium and fills the city streets.
