  • Mexico faces Ecuador in a crucial World Cup Round of 16 match on June 30.
  • Fans are questioning if a "Ley Seca" (alcohol ban) will be implemented in Mexico City for the game.
  • The government has not yet announced any alcohol sales restrictions for the match.

Mexico City is buzzing with anticipation for the FIFA World Cup Round of 16 match between Mexico and Ecuador on Tuesday, June 30. The Tricolor enters this critical stage as the top seed from Group A, having remained undefeated in the group phase, and fans are eager to see them advance.

Following a previous "Ley Seca" (alcohol ban) implemented in the Historic Center of Mexico City for Mexico's match against Czech Republic on June 24, many fans are now wondering if similar restrictions will be in place for the Ecuador game. The "Ley Seca" prohibits the sale of alcoholic beverages during specific periods, often coinciding with major public events or holidays.

As of now, the Government of Mexico City has not issued any official announcements regarding the implementation of an alcohol ban for the June 30 match. Authorities are maintaining surveillance operations in high-traffic areas to monitor public gatherings and ensure responsible alcohol consumption during the World Cup festivities. They also remind citizens to adhere to the Civic Culture Law, which prohibits public intoxication.
