The Mexican National Team will face Iceland in a friendly on February 25 in Querétaro, despite the wave of violence following the death of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, alias 'El Mencho', in a military operation. The Mexican Football Federation confirmed the team is already at the venue and will conduct trainings, using local league players as it is not a FIFA date. This match is part of Javier Aguirre's preparation for the 2026 World Cup.

The shooting death of a man believed to be Óscar Noé Medina González, known as El Panu, in a central Mexico City restaurant has raised numerous questions about his identity and security. His wife claims he was Óscar Ruiz, a hotelier from Mazatlán visiting for the holidays. The incident unfolds amid the Sinaloa Cartel's internal war, which has led to over 1,800 murders since July 2024.
