Four high-level football matches were postponed on Sun, Feb 22, 2026, following the death of a cartel leader near Guadalajara, a host city for the FIFA World Cup 2026. The affected fixtures included Queretaro vs Juarez in the men's tournament and Chivas vs America in the women's league, along with two second division matches.

An international friendly match between Mexico and Iceland, scheduled for Wed, Feb 25, 2026, at Corregidora Stadium in Queretaro, was also cancelled by the Mexican Football Federation.

The individual involved, Nemesio Ruben Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho,” was the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. He was wounded in Tapalpa, Jalisco, and died while being transported to Mexico City. Subsequently, cartel members initiated roadblocks and caused disruptions across several Mexican states.

Guadalajara is set to host four World Cup games in June, including matches involving South Korea, Mexico, Spain, Uruguay, and Colombia. These matches will take place at the Akron Stadium.

The Jalisco cartel is considered the most dominant in Mexico, with approximately 19,000 members, operating in 21 of the country's 32 states. It is designated as a “Foreign Terrorist Organization” by the U.S. government.

The Mexican Open, an ATP tennis tournament, is scheduled to commence on Mon, Feb 23, 2026, at the GNP Arena in Acapulco, Guerrero. Organizers have confirmed that the tournament will proceed as planned.
