During a news conference before the start of the 2026 World Cup, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said everything was under control for the opening match between Mexico and South Africa in Mexico City despite multiple demonstrations scheduled for June 11 near the newly renamed Mexico City Stadium.
"There is no problem. Everyone with a ticket will be able to get there because there are no classes and no office work. Everything is under control. The only recommendation is to leave earlier," Sheinbaum said.
