The President of Mexico has assured that all necessary measures will be adopted to guarantee security during the FIFA World Cup 2026, in the context of recent violence.

Claudia Sheinbaum, the president of Mexico, promised that 'all guarantees' will be implemented to ensure security in Guadalajara, where matches will take place as part of the 2026 World Cup. She stated that there is 'no risk' for fans traveling to the city in June, despite the increase in violence related to drug cartels, triggered by the killing of the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.

Recent violence has led to the postponement of several football matches and has created a tense atmosphere in the region.

Estadio Akron in Guadalajara will host four World Cup matches, including the second match of the competition, and before this, the stadium will organize an international playoff tournament.
