Group K: Colombia v Congo DR/Jamaica/New Caledonia – Estadio Guadalajara

As part of its role hosting 2026 World Cup matches, Estadio Akron in Guadalajara — a city often celebrated as Mexico’s cultural heart — will once again be in the global spotlight. Guadalajara is a city that knows how to celebrate, with a calendar packed year-round with festivals honoring its deep-rooted traditions in music (it’s the birthplace of mariachi), art, film, and tequila. Boasting a capacity of just over 48,000, Estadio Akron stands as one of the largest stadiums in Mexico. Over the years, it has hosted high-profile events such as the 2010 Copa Libertadores Final and the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2011 Pan American Games — and now, it will welcome the world once again for soccer’s greatest tournament.
