Estadio Corregidora is a stadium in Querétaro City, Mexico. Named for Mexican War of Independence heroine Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez ("La Corregidora"), it has a capacity of 33,162 and is located on the outskirts of the city of Querétaro, 211 kilometres (131 mi) north of Mexico City. The venue is used mostly for football games as the home of Querétaro FC. It is also used for concerts, hosting internationally known pop stars like Rod Stewart, Miguel Bosé, and Shakira, among others.
The stadium's design allows for the safe exit of all spectators, even if full, in less than seven minutes. It is one of the largest football venues in Mexico, after Estadio Azteca, Estadio Olímpico Universitario, Estadio Azul (all in Mexico City), Estadio Cuauhtémoc in Puebla, Estadio BBVA Bancomer in greater Monterrey, and Estadio Jalisco in Guadalajara.
Built in 1985 in a collaboration between Mexican and European partners, Estadio Corregidora acted as a venue for the FIFA World Cup hosted the following year by Mexico.

2022 Estadio Corregidora riots
On 5 March 2022, Liga MX club Querétaro FC hosted Atlas FC at La Corregidora for matchday 9 of the Clausura 2022 tournament. At the 63rd minute, fighting between fans of both teams broke out in the stadium's stands. The match was stopped immediately, and the teams' players returned to their respective dressing rooms. The sparse security elements in the stadium were unable to control the situation and opened the stadium's exits to allow spectators to escape the violence, which had spread to the pitch.
Due to the developing events at the stadium, the match was suspended by its head referee, with the score at Querétaro 0 - 1 Atlas. Liga MX president Mikel Arriola stated that "those responsible for the lack of security in the stadium will be punished in an exemplary manner." The league announced that the remainder of the match's second half would be played at a future date.
On 8 March 2022, Liga MX authorities announced a one year veto for the stadium.
