MEXICO CITY :Box and suite holders at Mexico City's Azteca stadium, also known as Estadio Banorte, will have free access to 2026 World Cup matches after they reached an agreement with FIFA, the stadium's owners said.

Under the terms of the long-standing contractual rights, box seat holders - whose 99-year clause was originally established to help fund the stadium's construction in 1966 - will be granted free access to all five matches, including the tournament opener.

"We are pleased to announce that box and suite owners will be able to access and use their boxes/suites at no cost during the five matches to be held at the stadium," Estadio Banorte press office said in a statement on Wednesday.

"To this end, the stadium has made a series of commitments and payments to FIFA."
