Estadio Azteca is a station on the Xochimilco Light Rail, belonging to the only existing line of the system. It is located south of Mexico City on the border of the mayors of Tlalpan and Coyoacán.

Information

This station is located opposite the Estadio Azteca. The station logo is a stylized view of that stadium.

For some time, it was a transfer station between the tram line to Xochimilco and that to Tlalpan, which is why this is the only station that has three tracks and two platforms.

To the south of the station you can see the remnants of the light rail line that started at this station and ended near San Fernando Avenue in Tlalpan. The platforms of some of these stations, as well as their tracks, are still standing.

Refurbishment

The station was out of service from 1 July 2019 until 16 January 2020, due to a major rehabilitation of the system, making the replacement of tracks that have remained since the mid-1890s, when they were used for the former tram route that became the modern Light Rail in the 1980s. The works were completed on December 31, 2019. The official reopening took place on January 16, 2020.
