Ultimately, poor administrative management led to a lackluster inauguration, where fans were left “without CR7, without our singer, and without a win for the national team”. This controversial episode raises doubts about the logistics of major events at the Santa Úrsula colosseum, where a single office failure was enough to dim the shine of one of Mexico's biggest stars. What promised to be a historic night for Mexican football at the re-inauguration of the Azteca Stadium (Banorte) ended in profound disappointment for thousands of fans. The much-anticipated match between Mexico and Portugal not only suffered the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo but also left the “Princess of Latin Pop,” Belinda, high and dry, as her participation was canceled at the last minute. An “administrative problem” ruined the party. According to the “El Bolero” column in Medio Tiempo, the expectation of hearing Belinda sing the National Anthem was so high that many followers spent excessively to secure their place in the venue. However, an internal “administrative problem” within the organization derailed all plans, leaving fans without the “Beli signal” and with a bittersweet taste after the event. Fans “spent out and tired”. The outrage on social media was immediate, as fans reported having spent “what they didn't have” just to see their idols together on the same stage. However, at the time of the ceremony, attendees were unpleasantly surprised to see someone else in the center of the field. The column details that it was not a lack of commitment from the singer. In fact, Belinda was fully prepared: her hotel was booked, her plane tickets were purchased, and her per diems were set aside for her performance.
