On Thursday, June 11, 2026, Mexico City\u2019s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, confirmed she will watch the Mexico vs. South Africa World Cup match at the FIFA Fan Fest located in the Gustavo A. Madero borough\u2014not at the Z\u00f3calo, as initially considered. <\/p>\n
Earlier that day during the morning press conference, Sheinbaum had expressed uncertainty about attending the Z\u00f3calo Fan Fest, which faced potential cancellation due to CNTE protests in the historic downtown area. She emphasized her support for the Mexican national team without making predictions, noting the country\u2019s superstition around sports outcomes. <\/p>\n
She said, \u201cNo, we don\u2019t want to give a forecast. Obviously, all the good vibes for the Mexican National Team. The people of Mexico are very superstitious… Of course Mexico will win if it has the support of the people, and we know they will give their all on the field.\u201d <\/p>\n
Later, Sheinbaum arrived at the Gustavo A. Madero Fan Fest accompanied by Clara Brugada, the borough\u2019s head of government. She shared her enthusiasm on social media with a simple \u201c\u00a1Viva M\u00e9xico!\u201d on her X account. <\/p>\n
This decision highlights the city\u2019s efforts to keep the World Cup celebrations accessible and safe amid social tensions, while supporting public spaces beyond the traditional downtown core. The Fan Fest in Gustavo A. Madero offers a vibrant, community-centered venue for fans to unite and cheer on Mexico\u2019s team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
