Estadio Corregidora has experienced irregular attendance since its reopening, with some matches having good turnout and others with half-empty stands. Administrative and sporting changes in the club have also affected the relationship with the fans. The current uncertainty is how to achieve a balance between the passion of the fans and safety at matches.
After the incident on March 5, which left physical and emotional scars, urgent reforms were implemented in Liga MX and in security protocols at stadiums. One of the measures was the introduction of a mandatory Fan ID for spectators, although its implementation has varied among different teams.
La Resistencia Albiazul, a fan group with a three-year ban, raises concerns about their return to Corregidora. Despite the sanction having ended, the final decision is not solely in their hands, as there are contractual clauses that could prevent their reintegration into the stadium.
The violence that erupted at Estadio Corregidora three years ago transformed the perception of football in Mexico, resulting in stricter security measures and debates about the presence of organized fan groups in the stadiums. Although the ban on La Resistencia Albiazul has expired, their return is still not guaranteed, as the final decision rests with the club's management.
State authorities, such as Governor Mauricio Kuri, are evaluating the situation, considering options like credentialing the members of the group to avoid future security problems. While La Resistencia Albiazul expresses its desire to support the team, they have announced that they will not appear as an organized group in the next home match of Gallos.
Amidst these changes and debates, the relationship between the Querétaro fans and their team has evolved, with the implementation of greater control measures at matches, although there have been questions about the collection of biometric data. Police presence at stadiums has increased, including elements of the National Guard at matches deemed high-risk.
The regulation of organized fan groups has been tightened, with restrictions on their access to visiting stadiums and credentialing requirements at certain clubs. Three years after the incident that marked football in Querétaro, the challenge persists to maintain a vibrant atmosphere in the stands without repeating past mistakes. The one-year sanction without fans affected supporters who were not involved in the violence, highlighting the collective consequences of individual actions.
