Estadio Azteca Reopens as Estadio Banorte After World Cup Renovations; Mexico Draws Portugal 0-0

The iconic Estadio Azteca — newly renamed Estadio Banorte under a naming-rights deal — reopened to the public after approximately two years of World Cup renovation works. Mexico hosted Portugal in an international friendly, drawing 0-0 in front of a packed stadium. Portugal controlled 61% possession; Gonçalo Ramos hit the post. Mexico's Israel Reyes earned Man of the Match. Cristiano Ronaldo was absent with a hamstring injury. One fan died after falling from the VIP box area. Protesters gathered outside, demonstrating over Mexico's 130,000+ missing persons and the stadium's costly renovation budget. Sheinbaum visited Guadalajara the same day to pledge a 100,000-strong joint security force for the June 2026 FIFA World Cup across Mexico, U.S., and Canada, meeting with security chiefs from 20+ federal agencies.
