The Mexican Football Federation (FMF) and the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) confirmed that the friendly match between Mexico and Portugal will take place on March 28, 2026, at Estadio Azteca, despite the wave of violence following the death of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as 'El Mencho'. Both federations stressed it is a mutual desire to hold the match in Mexico, which will serve as the stadium's reinauguration after remodeling. The FPF prioritizes safety but keeps the date and venue unchanged.
