The governor of Jalisco, Pablo Lemus Navarro, assured that the atmosphere for the Spain vs. Uruguay match in Guadalajara will be fantastic. He highlighted that the previously announced free concert by Alejandro Fernández will take place the night before the match. This event will serve as a welcome for tourists visiting Guadalajara for the game. “I have also shared with the president [Louzán Abal] that the night before the Spain vs. Uruguay match, we will have a public concert to welcome all visitors with Alejandro Fernández, this great exponent of Mexican regional music. This great party will be reflected throughout the state of Jalisco,” he shared. The governor also praised the infrastructure of Guadalajara Stadium, assuring that Mexico, and now 'La Perla Tapatía' (Guadalajara), is one of the venues where the Spanish national football team enjoys playing. “We have seen the Guadalajara stadium, a modern, state-of-the-art stadium that will host this great match, which is said to be one of the most attractive of the group stage. It is the last of that first phase, and in a way, it will set the course for how far each team will go [...] If the Spanish had been asked where we would like to play a World Cup match, I am convinced we would have said Mexico, and surely now we will say Guadalajara,” he added. Furthermore, he highlighted factors such as the climate, tourist attractions, and the state's capacity to receive visitors. He also expressed good wishes to the Mexican team, which he described as one of the most appreciated in Spain. “We feel at home,” he added. Finally, the governor reiterated the close relationship between Mexico and Spain, emphasizing the importance of these encounters to strengthen international cooperation in various fields.
