Violence Erupts Between Chivas and America Fans in CDMX

After the match between Chivas and America at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes, serious incidents occurred that have caused concern. Despite efforts to separate the followers of both teams inside the venue, once they go out onto the streets, they mix, leading to friction, conflicts, and unfortunately, fights.

In a video circulating on social media, several Chivas supporters are seen attacking a fan of Club America, subduing and beating him on the ground with total impunity. This violent situation has become a topic of discussion and concern.

The stadium security had designated a specific area for the Club America supporters; however, many of these followers dispersed into the streets nearby, mixing with fans of the opposing team. This lack of proper separation has generated tensions and confrontations between the groups, resulting in regrettable episodes of violence.

In another incident, several agents from the Mexico City Citizen Security Secretariat were involved in a brutal beating of a Chivas fan in the stands. This sad episode has highlighted the seriousness of the situation and generated consternation in the community.

Although the authorities, Chivas and America clubs, as well as Concacaf, have not issued official statements on the matter, it is urgent to address this issue to prevent the repetition of violent episodes such as those that occurred after the match, which culminated in a victory for the America team.

It is essential to ensure the safety of attendees at these sporting events and to prevent situations that put the integrity of fans and the community at large at risk. The confrontations and fights caused by sports rivalry do not contribute to healthy coexistence and must be addressed urgently and effectively.
