Overview
- The Secretaría de Seguridad y Protección Ciudadana (SSPC) and the Ciudad de México Secretaría de Seguridad Ciudadana (SSC) issued a joint preventive advisory on Monday, June 22, 2026, to address viral challenges tied to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
- Authorities identified specific dangerous acts promoted online, including entering restricted stadium zones, climbing structures for photos, invading security areas, and performing risky maneuvers on roads or public transport.
- Officials said organizers and promoters spread short videos that promise recognition or views to push people to copy hazardous stunts, which raises the chance of accidents during large fan gatherings.
- The advisory urges people to avoid participating in risky challenges, to think through consequences before acting, to distrust posts that promise fame for extreme behavior, and asks parents to supervise the online activity of children and adolescents.
- Police published Policía Cibernética contact channels for reporting dangerous content, listing phone 55 5242 5100 ext. 5086, email policia.cibernetica@ssc.cdmx.gob.mx, and the official accounts @SSC_CDMX and @UCS_GCDMX, and warned that such actions can cause injuries or legal sanctions.
