On Friday, November 1st, the Águilas del América will visit the Pearl of the Pacific to face Mazatlán FC in a match corresponding to matchday 15 of the Apertura 2024. América's goal is to earn three points to get closer to the direct Liguilla spots.
Unfortunately, the violence in Culiacán, Sinaloa, has affected other municipalities in the state, including Mazatlán, where a shooting was reported. The Autonomous University of Sinaloa suspended classes at all educational levels, and residents report living under a curfew due to disputes between criminal groups.
Despite these events, the match between Mazatlán and América is scheduled to take place at the Estadio El Encanto at 8:00 PM, according to journalist David Medrano. Both managements, along with Mikel Arriola, president of Liga MX, agreed that the game will proceed as planned, dismissing any changes in venue or date.
Ticket sales for the match continue without complications, and Ricardo Salinas Pliego, owner of the Sinaloan team, has invited fans to attend the match, which he has called the "Television Classic."
