The ‘Iceteca’ awaits: Canada’s World Cup Qualifier vs. Mexico will be freezing

TORONTO, Canada—When Canada welcomes Mexico in the final round of Concacaf FIFA World Cup Qualifying at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton, Alberta on Tuesday night, temperatures are expected to drop as low as -9°C, feeling like -17°C at times.

The frigid Canadian weather has brought plenty of snow overnight and this morning, with many now dubbing Edmonton’s Commonwealth Stadium ‘The Iceteca’, named after Mexico City’s famous Estadio Azteca.
