Sport|World Cup 2026FIFA’s Infantino plays down World Cup concerns despite violence in MexicoViolence has broken out across Mexico, raising concerns only four months before its co-hosting of FIFA World Cup 2026.

The FIFA President, Gianni Infantino, expressed confidence in Mexico's preparations for hosting the 2026 World Cup, despite recent security concerns. Mexico is set to co-host the event from June 11 to July 19, 2026, alongside the United States and Canada.

The FIFA President, Gianni Infantino, expressed confidence in Mexico's preparations for hosting the 2026 World Cup, despite recent security concerns. Mexico is set to co-host the event from June 11 to July 19, 2026, alongside the United States and Canada.

Guadalajara, one of the host cities, experienced violence following the army's operation against a drug cartel leader. This incident resulted in 74 fatalities, primarily involving security forces and cartel members, with significant disruptions across 20 of Mexico's 32 states.

Despite these events, Mexican authorities, including President Claudia Sheinbaum, have assured that there is no risk to World Cup fans, and the situation is reportedly stabilizing. Guadalajara will host four group-stage matches, including a key match between Uruguay and Spain, and a playoff tournament in collaboration with Monterrey.

FIFA has not commented on the recent events, but Infantino remains optimistic about the event's success. However, the Portuguese Football Federation is monitoring the situation closely, with security considerations as a priority for their scheduled match on March 29 in Mexico City.

Jalisco Governor Pablo Lemus confirmed that Guadalajara remains a host city, with no changes expected due to security concerns. Additionally, the Mexican national team coach, Javier Aguirre, stated that preparations are proceeding as planned.
