Due to the forced closure of several business areas, Club América and Cruz Azul, which share their home in the Mexican League, are on the verge of concluding an agreement to play at Ciudad de los Deportes, the current home of Atlante in the expansion tournament. Among the conditions negotiated with the Cosio family, the owners of the property, the two directives stipulate that only football matches be held and that the stadium is not used for concerts or any other type of large events.

The deal is about to be closedreveals L today Colts president Emilio Escalante. We give support and we have no problem with both teams coming. This month everything should be closed. As far as I know, they have made this condition so that there will be no more parties or events that can affect the condition of the stadium. This will also help us put an end to this type of income..

When Atlante returned to Mexico City in 2020, after establishing offices in Cancun for more than a decade, Escalante signed a three-year contract under which he would guarantee the start of a second phase in the ancient Barcelona temple. At the beginning of January we renewed our contract for another two years, so we still have a year and a half to gohe explains. There is an open priority clause so we can continue in our home longer. So far, no case has arisen that can determine this for us..

Opened in 1946, Ciudad de los Deportes Stadium is one of the most remote sports buildings in the capital. The Atlanticists team began work last year to adapt it to the requirements of the Spanish Premier League, after its structure failed due to lack of maintenance. Only last June, the League and FIFA authorities approved the improvement works and certified the colts to look forward to promotion in 2024.

Regarding lighting, we changed the bulbs and installed more to give us the lighting measurements required by the union. We tried to leave the field in the best possible way. We don’t have a loan or anything similar, but it’s a place they also occupy for other purposes. It was not enough in this sense, and we must respect it, because we cannot do anything else.

In all the stadiums where this happened, the grass was damagedEscalante adds, referring to the three postponed matches on the league calendar – Rayados – Santos, Queretaro – América and Atlas – América – as a result of a series of events outside football, which did not allow the teams to be active. Therefore, the fact that América and Cruz Azul have met these conditions may mean that there will only be football, and there will be no more concerts or other events..

While the three clubs are still in the competition, the Colts board of directors plans to hold a final meeting with the Americanistas and Celesties to determine fixture dates and all logistics. This will happen at the right time, either at the end of this year or the beginning of the next. For now, everything was agreed between the three of them in a good way. América and Cruz Azul are in the first division and we have to give them this place, because Atlante deserves it too..

Azteca’s closing date is to be determined. As far as I understand, if it closes in December, the idea is to play in January at Estadio Azul“, explains the sporting president of Águilas, Santiago Baños. We will have to wait a little longer, because we do not have a confirmed deadline.
