Nuevo León announces special operation for Mexico-England match broadcast

Nuevo León's government is rolling out a comprehensive special operation for the upcoming broadcast of the Mexico vs. England World Cup match. The plan aims to ensure public safety and manage crowds, learning from incidents during the Mexico vs. Ecuador game.

Governor Samuel García Sepúlveda announced that the Macroplaza will accommodate around 50,000 attendees, with additional venues planned to increase the total capacity to approximately 100,000 people. New public viewing screens will be installed at locations including the Museo de Historia Mexicana and the Plaza Gastronómica. The state is also exploring the use of sports stadiums like Estadio Universitario and Estadio Monterrey for broadcasts.

Parque Fundidora will have a partial closure, with access restricted after 3:30 p.m. on Sunday to prevent overcrowding. Security will be heightened, involving state and federal forces. Municipalities will also be involved, with plans for public squares in each city to be equipped with screens for the match.

To further mitigate risks and concentrate resources on the event, musical performances scheduled for Sunday have been postponed. The operation is designed to distribute fans across multiple safe locations and avoid the congestion and injuries that occurred previously.
