A look back at the Azteca farewell game tradition

On Saturday, Mexico will play their farewell game at the Estadio Azteca against Scotland. Even with the high ticket prices and the criticism the team has received from the press, the federation recently announced a sold out crowd. The Azteca farewell game tradition has been a constant one ever since the Mexican team returned to the World Cup in 1994, after being expelled in the 1990 edition.
