The billionaire who would invest in America and change the name of Azteca

With the idea that the Azteca Stadium will historically become the first venue to receive three world cups, the América board of directors headed by Emilio Azcárraga has sought a way for various investors to contribute their grain of sand, which is why both the stadium as well as the team will enter the Stock Market.

The idea of Emilio Azcárraga is that from the investors the money is destined for the remodeling of the Azteca Stadium, as confirmed by the journalist Juan Carlos Zúñiga. In addition, whoever invests in the remodeling of the Colossus of Santa Úrsula could put the new name on the property where America is located, according to the aforementioned source.

Although there are several magnates who have been involved in the world of soccer such as Carlos Slim and Ricardo Salinas Pliego, the truth is that another millionaire could join the interest in having the name of his companies in the Azteca Stadium, it is Germán Larrea, the second richest man in Mexico according to Forbes magazine.

Germán Larrea would be about to acquire the Banamex bank, with which he would again seek to invest in soccer, as he did in 2016 when he sponsored Club América, now he could be part of the remodeling of the Azteca Stadium and also acquire shares of the Azulcrema team, with which he would get strong in the sports space. It is worth noting that the bank already sponsors the Mexican team.

How much will the remodeling of the Azteca Stadium cost?

According to the president of the Mexican Football Federation, Yon de Luisa, the investment will return 150 million dollars, taking into account that the property and its surroundings will be remodeled. Hence, Emilio's intention is to name the person who invests the large amount of money they need to improve the Azteca Stadium.
