What's Included
What we will do in this experience
Get ready to experience Mexican football the local way—with tacos, passionate fans, and a deep dive into the culture of CDMX.
Your host, Manu, will pick you up around 3 hours before kickoff from central neighborhoods like Roma Norte/Sur, Polanco, Chapultepec or Condesa (meeting at Plaza Popocatépetl is also an option). On the way to the stadium, we’ll stop at a traditional taquería near the ground—tacos are on us, of course.
Before entering the stadium for a Liga MX, Copa MX, or CONCACAF match, we’ll enjoy a cold beer or soft drink (included) and get into the game-day spirit with some local insights and stories. Manu will guide you safely to your seats and stay with you throughout the match to ensure you enjoy every moment like a local.
After the final whistle, we’ll drive you back to your stay or chosen drop-off point, making the whole experience seamless and secure. Plus, during the ride, Manu will be happy to share tips about the city and answer any questions you have—like a football-loving friend who knows all the shortcuts.
Ponchos for rainy days? Covered. Pro tips on what to wear or bring? We’ve got you. This is football in Mexico, done right.

This was the highlight of our trip. I’ve been interested in a seeing Cruz azul match but I was worried about the logistics of everything. Manu basically made it so we didn’t have anything to worry about which was perfect for our vacation. He’s out going and easy to communicate with. His group of friends were really friendly and everyone showed us a great time. I’d recommend this to anyone interested in seeing a soccer match in Mexico City.

I recently attended the Cruz Azul vs Atlas match and would highly recommend Manu as a host. He goes above and beyond in customer service to make sure you are safe, comfortable and get the most enjoyment possible from the experience. If I return to Mexico City in the future, I would definitely book another Match Day experience with him.

We recently attended the CAZ vs America game with our kids (6 and 8 years old). We used Manu and his crew because of all the great reviews he had. We were a little worried about taking our kids to such a crazy and intense game but we all had a blast. The kids were involved in the game the entire time and they scored 4 out of the 5 goals on our end. It was amazing. Manu and his crew were consistently checking on my wife and kids and put them at ease. The Estadio Azteca is such an amazing place with a ton of history and I wanted my kids to experience it. They loved it. Our driver (Ricardo) picked us up from the hotel and took care of everything. You literally don't have to plan anything. They text you and provide instructions. All you have to do is be ready to get picked up, drink some beers, and talk football. Ricardo took us to a taco spot were we grubbed on some tacos before going into the stadium. The tacos were on point! The only thing that sucked and its not against Manu was the rain (Manu provided panchos) and walking into the stadium. A lot of people are trying to walk into the stadium last minute so they start cutting the line. It got pretty intense amongst the crowd since people were getting fed up with the cutters and started to block their path which squeezed us in like sardines. Ricardo and Benji encircled me and my family and we bullied our way in blocking out all the cutters. This was intense only because we had kids. If it was all adults, we would have not had any problems blocking out the cutters. Manu and Benji who are hardcore CAZ fans said they have never seen anything like this before (in terms of people cutting). Nonetheless we felt safe with Ricardo and Benji guiding us through. Thanks again for the great time! You will not be dissapointed by using them. Manu and his team are great. Great seats as well. Right behind the goal.

We went to the Cruz Azul match day experience and Manu is a great host! He's very passionate about soccer and took us through all the match day rituals. Communication and transport were a breeze. We even got to watch the match from a suite amongst Manu's family and friends. We had a great time and wouldn't hesitate to go again.

We had an incredible time with Manu! He was super responsive, kind, knowledgeable, and passionate about Mexican soccer and his favorite team Cruz Azul. We got the authentic pregame experience at a bar near the stadium and met some great people. I would recommend this tour to anyone. 10/10

We had an incredible day with Manu attending the Cruz Azul game at Estadio Azteca! He picked us up at our hotel with a case of beers and the fun started right away. We stopped for some tacos at a super authentic spot and then headed to the stadium for our tailgate. This might have been the best part of the day! During the game Manu helped us get beers and snacks from the concession people and made sure we understood some of the history of the stadium and the teams. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a fun time in CDMX!

Making plans to attend a large event in a foreign city can be super stressful. Manu solved this problem with his Match Day Experience! He was easy to reach and easy to communicate with pre, during, and post event. While courteous and cultured, this man knows how to party so if you want to step it up a notch he'll be right there with you getting rowdy at the stadium. The taco place he took us to was amongst the best I've ever had. He offered a variety of Mexican beers, kept us in the loop with everything (including what to wear due to weather), and got us to/from our destination safely and on time. He also knows the league and stadium like the back of his hand so wether you're new to soccer and just want to experience soccer life in Mexico or a lifelong Cruz Azul fan living abroad, THIS is the guy you want to go with. Overall this event was the most stress free and fun part of my trip to Mexico City and I HIGHLY recommend anyone wishing to live this experience to book through Manu.

Manu was an amazing host! The process was all super smooth and streamlined. He really knows his stuff about football and was really keen to discuss Mexican (and European!) football in detail. Really knows his stuff, great fun and a great guy. The perfect Mexican football experience! Viva Cruz Azul!!

Absolutely the highlight of our trip to Mexico. Manuel is so down-to-earth and friendly! This tour felt like hanging out with a good friend and seeing his favorite things to do on the weekend. We had a blast and highly, HIGHLY recommend you book this experience! Also - check out Manuel's other experience! We contacted him after having so much fun at the soccer game, and he took us on a fabulous wakeboarding and water skiing adventure at a gorgeous lake just outside Mexico City! I recommend both!

I had such a great time I would definitely recommend. Manuel was a great host. He picked me up from my airbnb and took me to the stadium, we tailgated with other fans , watched Cruz Azul play and win an amazing final, and then took me back to my Airbnb safely. It was an amazing adventure I’ve always wanted to go see a game at the Estadio Azteca. Incredible experience I can’t wait to go back!

It was an Amazing Experience! Experiences are ones that stay with us long after a trip is over, and this was honestly a gift of a lifetime ! I got the opportunity to go see Cruz Azul play the Liga Mx Championship Final at the legendary Estadio Azteca. The atmosphere was incredible both pregame and during the game. Manuel the host, went above and beyond to not only provide what we agreed upon but to make sure that every expectation was exceeded. Manuel was very attentive and well organized. He also introduced me friends who were Cruz Azul fans and very fun and friendly I got to feel like a local watching a game. I will definitely be going back to México City when I get the chance. I highly recommend!
