América vs. Pachuca Will Be Played Without Fans After Benito Juárez Order

The borough said a street was improperly blocked during a recent women’s match, prompting a lockout of the venue for public safety.

Overview

  • Club América confirmed the match at Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes will be behind closed doors and said Ticketmaster will outline refund procedures, with benefits for season-ticket holders to follow.
  • The Alcaldía Benito Juárez cited an incident on Indiana Street during an América Femenil game and said police cleared the road under the Operativo Ladrillera protocol.
  • Grupo Ollamani and the stadium operator denied that club security closed the street, attributing the closure to Mexico City police under the borough’s plan and reserving the right to pursue legal action.
  • Liga MX backed América, calling the borough’s move unilateral and arbitrary, and urged authorities to reverse the decision.
  • The borough will keep events closed to the public until accredited security is proven, and América is evaluating alternative home venues such as Querétaro according to reporting that has not been finalized, as political and media accusations swirl with some claims unverified.
