Their games in Guadalajara will be played in one of the best stadiums in the world. The Guadalajara Stadium was built over 15 years ago with the dream of hosting a World Cup. And very soon, that dream will become a reality with national teams and world-class players, like them. The facilities where they will train, called Verde Valle, have also been subjected to a comprehensive renovation to meet the highest international standards", continued before the training started. "Just like the stadium, this investment in the World Cup will leave a lasting legacy for our club and our fans. South Korea knows what it means to be a host of a World Cup. We understand the commitment and responsibility that comes with receiving a national team of their stature. We are sure that we will exceed their expectations. I would like to wish them the best of luck. I hope that Mexico and South Korea advance together to the next phase. Feel at home and enjoy this city as much as we love it. Thank you and welcome. Welcome. Thank you, thank you all", concluded Amaury Vergara.
