The match is still on, but with maximum alert
The situation in the country is tense, that is no secret. After recent events, we were all wondering what would happen with the Mexican National Team match this Wednesday. The answer is already there: the game against Iceland will be played at the Corregidora Stadium.
The other options—changing venues or playing behind closed doors—were left on the table, but never gained traction. For the Mexican Football Federation, keeping him here was the main thing.
“Disputing the clash against Iceland in Querétaro was the main option,” confirmed the authorities.
A stadium protected by six security rings
The state government and Femexfut are not taking this lightly. This Tuesday they will hold a final meeting to refine all the details of the operation.
And what are the details? Six security rings will be implemented that will cover from the access booths and the surrounding neighborhoods, to the safe transfer of both teams to the stadium.
The objective is clear: to guarantee total protection before, during and after the initial whistle at 8:00 p.m.
Meanwhile, El Tri is already in Querétaro. They trained on Monday at Gallos Blanco facilities and this Tuesday they will do their final practice at Corregidora to finish preparing.
This meeting is more than a simple friendly. It is the third of eight that Mexico will play towards the 2026 World Cup. Then rivals like Portugal and Belgium await them. But first, we must get through this Wednesday with as much peace as possible.
Ticket sales are almost sold out. The city returns to normal with the return to school. And in the midst of everything, football demonstrates, once again, its power to continue uniting.
