El Balón está en el Carmen
This exhibition brings together, through a museum installation featuring 96 photographs, the national soccer teams of Mexico, South Korea, South Africa, and the Czech Republic, which will play their matches in July in Mexico City; the photographs are accompanied by the mascots of the World Cups hosted by these countries.
The historic Azteca Stadium—designated as the Mexico City stadium for this tournament—will host its third World Cup opening match. The venue and the city are ready to welcome thousands of fans, showcasing the Mexican hospitality renowned around the world.
The Mexican national team welcomes not only the teams in its World Cup group, but also friendly nations with which it has shared experiences both on and off the field.
This exhibition features both the host players and those representing the national teams of South Korea, South Africa, and the Czech Republic. Through them, visitors can appreciate the expressions and emotions inherent in the practice of soccer, as well as contextualize the individual experience of each participant.
Mexico is preparing for its third time hosting the World Cup. The careers of its players, as well as the stadiums that have hosted the tournament and those designated for the 2026 edition, help solidify the country’s prominence in the international soccer arena. During the event, there is significant participation and enthusiasm in various venues across the country.
We invite you to explore and discover who will be participating in this exciting month, driven by a sport that this year brings together 48 nations in a single event: the 2026 FIFA World Cup—Mexico, United States, and Canada.
General admission: $155.00; $85.00 for Mexican nationals and foreign residents in the country who provide proof of their nationality and residency, respectively. Free admission for children under 13, students and teachers with valid ID, INAPAM members, and people with disabilities. Free admission on Sundays.
