Mexico in the Grip of Drug Cartels
Mexico wants to present itself as a safe country at the World Cup.
Drug cartel violence escalated, and experts see significant risks for fans and teams.
But FIFA has no Plan B.
Drug cartel violence is part of everyday life in Mexico.

Cartels want to profit from the World Cup
ā
The FIFA World Cup in Mexico attracts millions of visitors and brings a wealth of money into the country.
In the shadow of the football-soccer festival, powerful cartels like the Jalisco New Generation Cartel are lurking, hoping to profit from this event. They, too, are involved in the business world ā whether through money laundering in the restaurants and hotels, drug trafficking or participation in projects run through front men. And it's also about who holds the power in the country.

FIFA also only wants to profit; that's where the cartels have the same character.
Seriously, the cartels are also interested in peaceful events, so they can make good money.
They'll probably keep quiet by then.
Let the games begin in Mexico!
Opening match on June 11, 2026 in Mexico City at the Estadio Azteca.
Home game for Mexico against South Africa. I'm rooting for Mexico!

They all worked so hard to make everything look great.
Let's have a nice Corona to celebrate!
