‘euro.ES Euro’ stated that on October 25^th, the stadium was renamed the Estadio El Encanto after the Mazatlán F.C. signed an alliance agreement with a local company dedicated to the construction of houses – Encanto Desarrollos. With this change in moniker, the ‘El Kraken’ nickname of the stadium has been left behind which was quite popular among fans.
