Mexico City mayor asks fans to celebrate soccer match without alcohol excess; 832 trash bins to be provided

Mexico City Mayor Clara Brugada has called on football fans to celebrate the upcoming match between Mexico and Ecuador with "responsibility" and without excessive alcohol consumption. Brugada, who predicts a 3-1 victory for Mexico, emphasized the importance of maintaining public order and cleanliness during the anticipated celebrations.

"We make two calls: one call is about alcohol; we call for celebrating responsibly, without falling into excesses that generate health risks for oneself or for others," Brugada stated at the Antiguo Palacio del Ayuntamiento. She presented the operational plan her administration will implement for the event, which is expected to draw crowds along Paseo de la Reforma and other key areas of the capital.

To manage the expected waste, Brugada announced that 832 trash containers will be installed across the city. "The best fans are those who leave the city clean, the best fans are those of fair play. I call for, if we are enjoying ourselves in a public space, there will be sufficient containers, hundreds of containers, along and across all the spaces we just mentioned; more than 800 containers we will have. In particular, there are 832 containers, so that trash is deposited in those places," she said.

Personnel from the Works and Environment departments will also circulate with bags during and after the match to collect any remaining refuse. The mayor urged attendees to help keep the city clean, reinforcing the message of responsible celebration and civic duty.
