Deportivo 18 de Marzo metro station

Deportivo 18 de Marzo is a station on the Mexico City Metro.

[2] The name of the station refers to the adjacent Deportivo 18 de Marzo sports complex, and its logo represents a player of a pre-Columbian ball game.

[2] Its logo and name were taken from the Basílica de Guadalupe Roman Catholic shrine, located one kilometer east of this station.

Metro Deportivo 18 de Marzo was originally to be named Metro Montevideo (from nearby Avenida Montevideo), according to early plans for Line 3, so this station has changed its name twice.

[citation needed] This station serves the Tepeyac Insurgentes and Lindavista neighbourhoods.
