Benito Juárez Orders América–Pachuca Behind Closed Doors as Club, Liga MX Push Back

The borough cites an unauthorized street closure that blocked a neighbor seeking medical care.

Overview

  • The order covers Saturday’s match at Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes after the borough alleged América’s security closed Indiana Street during a women’s game, invoking the Operativo Ladrillera protocol.
  • Grupo Ollamani said América has no security staff, asserted that Mexico City police carried out the closure under the borough’s plan, and reserved the right to take legal action.
  • Liga MX condemned the measure as arbitrary, voiced full support for América, and said it will help ensure the game proceeds in the best possible manner.
  • The borough said events will remain without public attendance until the club proves its security personnel or contractor are properly trained and accredited.
  • Ticket sales were still active on Friday as talks continued, and reports indicate América is evaluating a temporary move to Querétaro’s Estadio Corregidora if the restriction stands.
