The World Cup will arrive in another Mexican city for the third time - Guadalajara, a place where mariachis play, tequila is drunk and football is adored.
It used to be played at the famous "Jalisco" stadium (mostly Brazil), and now in Zapopan (the wider part of Guadalajara) and at the only 16-year-old "Akron" stadium.
Its capacity is 48.000, its appearance resembles a volcano, and it is considered an architectural marvel and the most modern sustainable stadium.
It will host four World Cup matches - including Mexico, but also the big derby between Spain and Uruguay.
Guadalajara has its uglier side, linked to the infamous cartel, but this summer football should showcase the most beautiful side this city has to offer.
