Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes (English: Sports City Stadium) is a 34,253-seat
On 2 November 2024, local authorities closed the stadium indefinitely due to a lack of required safety certifications and issues with the stadium's infrastructure. The closure caused schedule disruptions for Club América, Atlante, and Cruz Azul. The stadium reopened on 7 November with new regulations such as an increase in security personnel at both the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes and the Plaza de Toros, promotion of public transport to reach the venues, and the prohibition of holding two events on the same day. Atlante announced they would move to Estadio Agustín "Coruco" Díaz in Zacatepec, Morelos. On 8 January 2025 Cruz Azul announced its relocation to the Estadio Olímpico Universitario located in Ciudad Universitaria, Mexico City.
