History and description<\/h3>\n

Estadio Nemesio Diez officially opened on 8 August 1954, though Toluca had already been playing at the site for various years.<\/p>\n

The stadium was initially called Estadio H\u00e9ctor Barraza, later Estadio Luis Guti\u00e9rrez Dosal, then Estadio Toluca 70, Estadio Toluca 70-86, and finally Estadio Nemesio Diez Riega. It often gets referred to as La Bombonera though.<\/p>\n

Estadio Nemesio Diez was one of the five playing venues of the 1970 World Cup, during which it hosted three first round group matches and the quarter-final between Italy and Mexico (4-1).<\/p>\n

Sixteen years later, in 1986, it was again a playing venue during a World Cup, but this time only hosted three first round matches.<\/p>\n

In 2016, Estadio Nemesio Diez underwent a major redevelopment in which upper tiers were built on top of the single-tiered stands and a new roof, supported by\u00a0four columns in the corners, was erected. This raised capacity with 3,000 seats to 30,000.<\/p>\n

How to get to Estadio Nemesio Diez<\/h3>\n

Estadio Nemesio Diez is located in central Toluca just south-west of Toluca\u2019s city centre. The walk will take about 15 minutes.<\/p>\n

The central bus terminal, which is located toward the south-east of the city, lies further away (about 3 kilometres from the stadium). Either catch a bus toward the city centre and walk, or take a taxi.<\/p>\n

Buses from Mexico City to Toluca depart very frequently from Mexico City\u2019s western bus terminal (Poniente) near Observatorio metro station.<\/p>\n
