Mexico City is “preparing for the 2026 FIFA World Cup with plans to increase investment in mobility and security next year.” The city’s proposed mobility budget, which includes “initiatives to make it easier for fans to enter and exit the iconic Azteca stadium, will increase to nearly” $348M, representing 186% “more than the 2024 allocation.” Mexico City also is proposing a “record high budget for its subway system.” Finance Minister Juan Pablo de Botton said, “The challenge is for people to be able to enter and leave on time and move around the city freely, feeling happy and safe.” Mexico City will host the opening match for the 2026 World Cup, which will also be hosted by the U.S. and Canada. Azteca stadium is “separately undergoing renovations to expand seating to 87,000” (BLOOMBERG NEWS, 12/20).
