Overview
- City officials organized a coordinated human wave along Paseo de la Reforma on Saturday, June 6, with the run starting near the Ángel de la Independencia and finishing by El Caballito.
- Guinness World Records judges attended the event, collected video and photographic evidence on site, and organizers announced certification while the formal participant tally remained subject to post-event verification.
- Thousands of people joined rehearsals that morning and took part in the official attempt, which was led on stage by Secretary of Tourism Alejandra Frausto and featured live acts including Sonora Santanera.
- Authorities closed lanes on Paseo de la Reforma and adjusted Metrobús service between morning hours to manage access and public safety during the activation.
- Organizers presented the attempt as both a pre‑World Cup public welcome and a commemoration of the wave’s global rise after Mexico 1986, a legacy that event planners cited to boost civic hospitality ahead of the tournament.
