One of Cruz Azul's most criticized aspects is its lack of its own stadium and its constant home changes; however, the wait for a home that serves as its own identity could be over by 2029.

A year ago, in May 2024, the President of the Board of Directors of the La Cruz Azul Cooperative, Víctor Velázquez, announced the idea to build the new stadium for the Máquina, which currently plays its home games at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario, home of the Pumas, But this Wednesday, journalist Javier Alarcón announced the possible locations and opening date of the new celestial venue.

"Álvaro Obregón, Coyoacán, and Naucalpan are the finalists to host Cruz Azul's new stadium. It will open no later than 2029 or 2030," Alarcón posted on social media.

When Velázquez announced plans to build the stadium, rumors pointed to the State of Mexico or even Hidalgo as potential destinations for the new building. However, Alarcón shared these three options, two of which are within Mexico City.

La Máquina has been repeatedly questioned about its lack of a stadium. Whether at Estadio Azul, the Azteca, the Olímpico Universitario, or the Cuauhtémoc, its loyal fans have done their part by supporting their team, but the desire to have a home that is theirs and no one else's has become a requirement for the board.

Although their last title, the CONCACAF Champions' Cup, was won at Ciudad Universitaria, and the next two tournaments do not have guaranteed home ground, the Máquina should return to the Azteca Stadium, now renamed Banorte, in the second half of 2026, as they have a current contract.
