FIFA President Gianni Infantino has expressed full confidence in Mexico's ability to host matches for the 2026 World Cup, following a phone call with President Claudia Sheinbaum. This comes amid violence sparked by the killing of drug lord Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as El Mencho, which led to event cancellations and security concerns. Sheinbaum announced that FIFA representatives will soon visit to assess security and mobility in host cities.
A man has been sentenced to eight years and ten months in prison for stealing a truck and running over six people during a religious event in downtown Guadalajara. The incident took place on October 26, 2024, outside the Cathedral, where hundreds of families were attending a Catholic prayer gathering.
