  • Mexico City authorities will restrict vehicle exits from parking lots on Reforma Avenue during the Mexico vs. Ecuador match.
  • The measure aims to prevent fans from climbing onto cars during celebrations, a common occurrence after national team games.
  • A "dry law" will also be in effect on Reforma and in the Historic Center to ensure fan safety.

Mexico City authorities are implementing measures to manage crowds and ensure safety during the Mexico vs. Ecuador football match, focusing on the Reforma Avenue area.

Capital authorities plan to speak with owners of public and private parking lots along Reforma to prevent vehicles from exiting after 3:00 or 4:00 PM on June 30. This decision comes in anticipation of thousands of fans gathering to watch the match, a common occurrence that has led to public disturbances in other parts of the country.

Government Secretary Cรฉsar Cravioto explained that the goal is to avoid incidents where fans climb onto vehicles during post-match celebrations. Similar celebrations after previous matches of the Mexican national team have seen fans engaging in such behavior, posing risks to themselves and others.

In addition to restricting vehicle movement, a "dry law" will be enforced along Reforma and in the Historic Center during the match. This measure is intended to further curb potential disturbances and ensure the safety of fans attending celebrations. The city aims to prevent any actions that could endanger supporters during the festivities.
