About the venue

Known locally as "El Gigante de Acero" (The Steel Giant), the futuristic Estadio BBVA is framed by the Cerro de la Silla mountain through its open north end, one of the most visually striking backdrops of the tournament.

The venue opened in 2015 and will host four matches across the group stage.
