According to officials, this move aims to let children fully enjoy the World Cup matches, especially since Mexico is one of the tournament’s host nations.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup will take place from June 11 to July 19 across three countries, with Mexico hosting matches in Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterrey. Mexico has automatically qualified as a host, and the legendary Estadio Azteca in Mexico City is set to be one of the tournament’s main venues.
