Overview

  • Reinforced controls start this weekend with expanded operations inside and outside venues, including pre‑, during‑, and post‑match deployments and shared intelligence with clubs and authorities.
  • The federation and league will seek legal classification of stadium violence as a serious crime to enable tougher criminal penalties for offenders.
  • The FMF Disciplinary Commission opened cases for the Akron, Universitario, and Cuauhtémoc incidents based on match commissioners’ reports, with sanctions to be determined.
  • Jornada 5 enforcement included 34 ejections, three detentions at the Universitario that remain under legal process, and four canceled season tickets, while clubs were ordered to remit offenders to on‑site civic courts and prosecutors and to roll out an anti‑violence campaign and the Aficionado Code of Conduct.
  • Authorities in Puebla confirmed one person was killed near Estadio Cuauhtémoc in a vendor dispute, treating it as a separate public‑security matter unrelated to league operations.
