The Government of Mexico City is implementing security and mobility measures to ensure a successful 2026 World Cup. Clara Brugada, head of government, announced that 40,000 cameras have been acquired for an efficient video surveillance system in the city, making it the most monitored in Latin America. In addition to Mexico City, Monterrey and Guadalajara will host matches.
Regarding mobility, a new Trolebus line, the "Silvestre Route of the Pedregales," is planned to open, connecting the University City with the Modal Transfer Center. The Huipulco Cetram will also be remodeled to facilitate mobility to the Estadio Azteca.
Among the activities leading up to the World Cup, the organization of a 'Fan Fest' in the Zócalo, the main public square, and soccer festivals in each delegation of the city were highlighted. The Estadio Azteca, host of the World Cup finals in 1970 and 1986, will be reopened on March 28, 2026, with new renovations.
Additionally, projects such as a semi-massive bike parking, a new Light Rail called "Ajolote," and the construction of the La Gran Tenochtitlán bike lane that will connect the Zócalo with Tlalpan will be implemented. Improvements will be made in three Cetram and 17 new double-car trains will be acquired. With these actions, the goal is to ensure safe and efficient mobility during the event.
