The XIII FIFA World Cup was scheduled to take place in Colombia, between May 31 and June 29, 1986. However, Colombia declined after being chosen as the venue, marking an unprecedented and unrepeated event in the history of the World Cups. Mexico became the first country to hold a World Cup twice, when the FIFA Executive Committee, after a meeting in Stockholm, Sweden in May 1983, decided to replace the host country selected in 1974, Colombia, which had to decline in November 1982 due to the impossibility of complying with the requirements that FIFA demanded to celebrate the event.

Sin embargo, Colombia declinó luego de ser escogida como sede, marcando un hecho inédito y no repetido en la historia de los Mundiales. México se convirtió en el primer país en celebrar dos veces una Copa del Mundo, cuando el Comité Ejecutivo de la FIFA, tras una reunión en Estocolmo, Suecia en mayo de 1983, decide sustituir la sede seleccionada en 1974, Colombia, el cual tuvo que declinar en noviembre de 1982 ante la imposibilidad de cumplir con los requerimientos que FIFA exigió para celebrar el evento.
