Concerns arose following the violent events that occurred on Feb. 22 in several Mexican cities after the capture and death of drug lord Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, “El Mencho,” leader of the powerful Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), in southern Jalisco state.
Among the cities hit by the wave of violence was Guadalajara, the capital of Jalisco, which will be one of the three Mexican host cities for the World Cup, along with Mexico City and Monterrey, the capital of Nuevo León state.
Mexico is scheduled to host 13 World Cup matches.
In early March, Mexican authorities presented their security plan for the World Cup, called “Plan Kukulkán,” which will involve some 100,000 members of the military and police forces, both federal and local.
The plan includes specialized training for officials, planning and operational exercises, early warning systems, security measures around stadiums, airports, roads, and hotels.
Sheinbaum 会见 FIFA 的 Infantino，讨论墨西哥 2026 年世界杯的筹备工作
墨西哥城（美联社）——墨西哥总统克劳迪娅·辛鲍姆（Claudia Sheinbaum）周一会见了国际足联（FIFA）主席詹尼·因凡蒂诺（Gianni Infantino），以评估将于6月和7月由墨西哥、美国和加拿大共同主办的2026年世界杯的筹备工作。
辛鲍姆在她的社交媒体账号上表示，她在国家宫与因凡蒂诺共进早餐，“因为我们正在为即将到来的世界杯评估一切”，并补充道：“一切都会非常美好。”
该赛事将于6月11日在墨西哥城标志性的阿兹特克体育场揭幕，届时将由东道主对阵南非。
上周六，墨西哥与葡萄牙的友谊赛在墨西哥城的该座体育场举行，作为世界杯备战的一部分。此次活动因一名从VIP包厢区域第二层跌落到一楼地面的球迷死亡事件而蒙上阴影。
“这次揭幕将是历史性的、非凡的，”辛鲍姆在与因凡蒂诺一同握着一面国际足联会旗时说道。
国际足联主席也呼应了辛鲍姆的看法，并保证世界杯将会“为墨西哥带来成功”。
因凡蒂诺上周以来一直在墨西哥，他出席了在瓜达拉哈拉和蒙特雷举行的两场洲际杯附加赛。他周末也在墨西哥城，参加与墨西哥足球联合会的相关活动。
