Deal Reopens Ciudad de los Deportes for América With Fans

A six-point protocol clarifies interior versus perimeter roles following the closed-door Pachuca match.

Overview

  • Benito Juárez and the stadium operator confirmed that seven upcoming Liga MX events will admit spectators at Ciudad de los Deportes, including América–Chivas on September 13.
  • The Estadio Seguro plan maintains the Ladrillera operation, with perimeter control and traffic management under the alcaldía and the SSC based on expected attendance.
  • Access control, security and logistics inside the venue are assigned to the stadium operator, with civil protection inspections continuing under municipal oversight.
  • The agreement follows the América–Pachuca game played without fans after authorities cited a street closure that impeded a resident seeking medical attention.
  • Political and legal fallout persists as Movimiento Ciudadano filed an oversight complaint, Mayor Luis Mendoza threatened a defamation suit against David Faitelson, and Club América estimates 12–14 million pesos in losses while weighing legal action.
