Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is contemplating watching the national team's upcoming World Cup match against South Korea from the official residence, the National Palace. The game is scheduled for Thursday, June 18, at 7:00 PM.
During her morning press conference, Sheinbaum stated that her attendance at the National Palace would be contingent on her workload. "We'll see how the work is here, maybe I'll watch it right here, maybe I'll bring my husband to watch it," she remarked.
Looking ahead to the match against the Czech Republic on June 24, which coincides with her birthday, Sheinbaum indicated a possibility of attending the game in person.
Additionally, she highlighted a recently published decree in the Official Gazette of the Federation. This decree implements remote work and suspends classes in Mexico City and Guadalajara to mitigate traffic congestion during the World Cup matches.
We'll see how the work is here, maybe I'll watch it right here, maybe I'll bring my husband to watch it.
