Las sedes
Tres ciudades, tres partidos
Every group game and how to travel for it. Dates and venues pulled straight from the fixture list.
Partido 1
Colombia vs Uzbekistan
Wednesday, Jun 17 · 10:00 PM ET
Mexico City
Estadio Azteca · México
La debut in the cathedral of the sport. The Azteca is loud, high, and unforgettable. Get there early and let the altitude settle.
- Acclimate a day early; the city sits at 2,240 m and you will feel it
- Gather with the hinchada in la Condesa and Roma Norte before kickoff
- Use the metro and official rideshare on match day, traffic is brutal
Para hacer
Partido 2
Colombia vs DR Congo
Tuesday, Jun 23 · 10:00 PM ET
Guadalajara
Estadio Akron · México
The home of tequila, mariachi, and birria. A warmer, easier city than the capital, and a proper Colombian party waiting to happen.
- Stay near Chapultepec for nightlife and pre-match meetups
- Estadio Akron is southwest of the city, leave early for traffic
- Birria and tortas ahogadas are non-negotiable before the game
Para hacer
Partido 3
Colombia vs Portugal
Saturday, Jun 27 · 7:30 PM ET
Miami
Hard Rock Stadium · USA
Basically a home game. Hard Rock Stadium will be a sea of amarillo and the city already runs on Latin time. The decisive match against Portugal.
- Doral and Hialeah are the Colombian heart of the city, eat there
- Hard Rock is in Miami Gardens, north of downtown, plan the drive
- Make it a long weekend: beach mornings, fútbol night
