The dream of a stadium of Cruz Azul’s own in 2026 has regained momentum following recent statements made by Víctor Velázquez, president of the club and of the La Cruz Azul Cooperative. The executive confirmed that the project is no longer just an idea for the future, but an initiative that is currently in the analysis and land search phase in Mexico City.
During his remarks, Velázquez explained that the institution is already reviewing different options to develop a building that will finally allow the Cementero team to have a permanent home, after years of playing home games in different stadiums.
Cruz Azul is actively working on its new stadium
“It is an illusion that we already have to start our stadium. We saw land options to be able to do it.”
Velázquez stated, making it clear that the board is already analyzing real scenarios to materialize one of the most important projects in the club’s recent history.
Although there is still no official date for the start of construction or for the inauguration of the new Cruz Azul stadium, the director acknowledged that the intention is to move forward over the next few years to make it a reality.
The board also confirmed that government support will be essential.
Especially on issues related to permitting, urban mobility, road impact and neighborhood approval.
“A project of this size always needs government support.”

Brugada has reportedly shown interest
Velázquez assured that the meetings with the capital authorities have been positive.
He directly mentioned Clara Brugada, head of the Mexico City Government.
“I think the head of government has taken it in a very good way, very enthusiastic,” the executive commented.
The possible construction of Cruz Azul’s new stadium also coincides with an important moment for the Mexican capital.
The city is preparing to host matches for the 2026 World Cup, a situation that has prompted various infrastructure and mobility projects.
Possible locations
So far, Cruz Azul has not officially confirmed the final location of its new stadium.
However, various reports point to three main areas currently under consideration by the club:
Parque Cuitláhuac
Located in the Iztapalapa district, this is one of the most talked-about areas in recent months due to its size and urban development potential.
Hermanos Galeana Sports Complex
The area, located in Gustavo A. Madero, has a sports tradition and good connections with different areas of the city.
Azcapotzalco Refinery Zone
This sector stands out for its connectivity and possibilities for urban regeneration.
Although specialists consider that it would require important infrastructure adjustments.
