A simple image of an advertisement on a piece of cardboard in the bathrooms of the Aztec Stadium during the duel between Cruz Azul vs. Chivas generated a wave of criticism and doubts regarding the current status of the remodeling works of this historic property for the beginning of the World Cup 2026 next June 11.

On social networks it is being questioned the current delay presented by the remodeling of the Azteca Stadiumespecially because during the Liga MX matches that were played there were too many complaints regarding the inconveniences they had in enjoying a soccer match, taking into account that there are 27 days left until the ball rolls for the first time in the 2026 World Cup.

World shame! 😬🌍

The Azteca Stadium has already been handed over to FIFA for the World Cup, but the remodeled bathrooms and their peculiar signs are generating ridicule and criticism on social networks. 🚻🤦‍♂️😂 pic.twitter.com/0qsje1rqZd

The announcement of the bathrooms on a piece of cardboard to inform the correct place between men and women in this area opened the pace of doubts regarding all the finishes that remain in this scenario and where the remaining time now plays against the Organizing Committee.

The reality is that this announcement is only the tip of the iceberg of all the finishes that remain to the historic world football building, where Two inaugurations have already been held, in the 1970 edition and later in 1986.

So forty years later the doubts are very evident in the “tiger claw” that was carried out on this property located in the south of the city on the occasion of the 2026 World Cup and where modifications were made in the locker room area, in the exit of players to the field of play, modifications in the press area and broadcasts.

The exterior of the property also underwent several modifications, but these repairs seem to have no end and now it seems that time has caught up with themsince rehearsals must be carried out for the opening ceremony, where it is expected that the organizing committee hopes to go all out.

On March 28, in the duel against Portugalthe litmus test was passed for the first time, but then umpteenth flaws have been discovered that will have to be optimized as the days go by.
