Mexico City's government head, Clara Brugada, presented on April 15 the local snacks to be offered to 2026 World Cup visitors. Made from products like nopal and honey by local producers, they are part of a 10-axis plan for a “Green World Cup.” The initiative aims to promote sustainability and the local economy.
In a press conference on Wednesday, April 15, Clara Brugada announced snacks made by Mexico City producers for 2026 World Cup events, including the FIFA Fan Fest and stores in the Historic Center.
Environment Secretary Julia Álvarez Icaza detailed products like dehydrated nopal from Milpa Alta—where Mexico City is the second-largest national producer after Morelos—and honey from conservation land beekeepers. “It will reach the FIFA Fan Fest and also the self-service stores in the Historic Center,” Icaza said. These snacks will be distributed in hotels to welcome visitors.
Brugada outlined the 10 axes of the “Green World Cup,” covering single-use plastic elimination, circular economy, local snacks and conservation land products promotion, water body recovery, street flowers, clean technologies, and emission reductions. “We are preparing as government and society to rise to this great event,” the mayor stated.
The initiative seeks to cut waste and support local producers during the tournament.
