MEXICO CITY, Feb 24 (Reuters) – Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Tuesday there are “all the guarantees” for the 2026 FIFA World Cup to be held in the country, after the capture and death of Mexico’s most-wanted cartel leader triggered roadblocks, arson and security clashes, notably in Jalisco state.
Asked if the soccer tournament, which is expected to draw crowds of fans to matches in Mexico City, Monterrey and Jalisco’s capital Guadalajara, would pose a risk to visitors, Sheinbaum said there was “no risk.”
