I\u2019m not a soccer, or \u201cf\u00fatbol\u201d fan, but Mexico did a great job hosting the 1970 and 1986 World Cup.\u00a0 This year, Mexico is one of three North American countries hosting games.<\/p>

As they tell me, Brazil\u2019s Pel\u00e9 put on quite an exhibition back in 1970.\u00a0 He was at his prime, and no one played better than him.\u00a0 Watch his magic goal.\u00a0 In 1986, Argentina\u2019s Diego Maradona scored that magical (or controversial) goal.\u00a0 The net result is that visitors and the locals were thrilled with how Mexico handled the whole thing; a great host is the bottom line.<\/p>\n

Let me add another personal note.\u00a0 In 1982, or during the Cup in Spain, I was living and working in Mexico City.\u00a0 The place was happy and loud around the games.\u00a0 In our office, everybody was watching the game.\u00a0 The restaurants were full of people eating and watching the games.\u00a0 It was a great atmosphere, even for someone like me who does not understand why they settle championships with penalty kicks.<\/p>\n

That was then and this is 2026.\u00a0 Mexico City is one chaotic mess where everybody wants to protest about something.\u00a0 Let\u2019s check this out:<\/p>\n

\n

Mexico will host matches at three venues, namely the iconic Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, Estadio Akron in Guadalajara, and Estadio BBVA in Monterrey, and a total of 13 matches throughout the tournament.<\/p>\n

As Mexico is set to host the opening match of the FIFA World Cup 2026 against South Africa at Estadio Azteca, the country has been grappling with a massive labour protest, which is causing significant logistical disruptions, forcing the authorities to implement strict travel corridors and heightening security concerns for international fans arriving for the highly anticipated tournament opener.<\/p>

The massive protests were organised by the National Coordinator of Education Workers (CNTE), which has long campaigned for the reversal of educational reforms they argue marginalise the public sector staff. The educators are staging widespread protests across the country, demanding an increase in their salaries, 100% hike in wages to combat inflation, and a complete overhaul of the current pension system.<\/p>\n

The demonstrators strategically opted to protest just days before the marquee event to maximise their leverage, knowing that the influx of international media, global football fans, and high-profile dignitaries would force the Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo-led government to prioritise a swift resolution to the unrest.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

To be fair, a lot of these protests are motivated by TV exposure.\u00a0 The demonstrators know that everybody has an iPhone or X account, and getting attention has never been easier.\u00a0 The protests go beyond labor issues.\u00a0 The population is angry about violence, the economy, corruption, etc.\u00a0 I have not heard of an anti-Trump protest, but that\u2019s probably part of the show too.\u00a0 What would a left-wing protest be without bashing the U.S. president anyway?<\/p>\n

How bad will it get?\u00a0 Time will tell, but the protestors were warned by local authorities that they can\u2019t get close to the stadium. However, a Mexican friend told me that these protesters want fame and attention; they will probably get it, and make life miserable for the 90% that just want to enjoy the games.<\/p>\n

Where is \u201cla presidenta\u201d?\u00a0 She won\u2019t attend the games, or so we hear.\u00a0 By the way, Mexico will open the tournament against South Africa in the fabled Estadio Azteca where Brazil and Argentina won the aforementioned titles.<\/p>
