The rivalry between Rojiblancos and Universitarios has changed course, and GOAL explains the implications behind the move.
In a surprising development, the highly anticipated match from matchday 14 of Opening 2023, originally slated for Saturday, Oct. 28 at Akron Stadium, has changed venues. Instead of taking place at Guadalajara’s current home, the clash will now be staged at the historic Jalisco Stadium. The relocation was driven by the schedule of a large event in Akron Stadium in the United States, which required adjustments to ensure both events could proceed safely.
The decision stems from the much-anticipated World Tour presentation of the artist The Weekend, whose Global Stadium Tour drew immense demand. To accommodate the logistics and safety needs of both events, the venue change became necessary.
Jalisco Stadium, a cornerstone of Mexican football with decades of history and the traditional home for Guadalajara, will host this eagerly awaited showdown between two storied Liga MX clubs. Fans will have the chance to witness a clash that promises intensity and memorable moments at a venue steeped in football culture.
For supporters, the switch carries a sense of anticipation. The Jalisco Stadium is an emblematic site filled with memories for the followers of Club Deportivo Guadalajara, and it represents a special opportunity for Tigres fans to experience the atmosphere that makes this historic stadium unique.
