Venue Notes

The Dallas-area match, presented by AT&T, will be the culmination of the four-year partnership established in 2018 with the Dallas Cowboys, FC Dallas and the Dallas Sports Commission to play an annual match at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX - the site of countless Mexico appearances since its opening in 2009. The 2022 edition will feature the return of the successful MexTour Live festival and concert presented by Gillette Labs, which will take place on Wednesday, May 25, at the AT&T Discovery District in downtown Dallas, this year featuring a concert by popular Mexican-American band Intocable (concert tickets available via www.MexTour.org).

State Farm Stadium in the Phoenix area welcomes back the national team for the first time since the 2021 Gold Cup quarterfinal, where the Tricolor defeated Honduras 3-0 in front of a capacity crowd of 64,211.

Mexico's return to Chicago will mark the landmark 100th match of the MexTour, which held its first match in 2003. The celebration will include fan-facing events and a pre-match celebration. The historic Soldier Field, host venue for the 1994 FIFA World Cup and several Concacaf Gold Cup finals, is the home of MLS' Chicago Fire and the NFL's Chicago Bears.

Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium - one of the top venues in the world - has been the site of MexTour matches, as well as MLS Cup and the MLS All-Star Game since opening in 2017. The MexTour last visited the home of MLS' Atlanta United and NFL's Atlanta Falcons in June 2021, in a scoreless draw between Mexico and Honduras in front of more than 70,000 fans.
