Overview
- Plan Kukulcán, which García Harfuch outlined Tuesday, carried out more than 280 operations in stadiums and Fan Fests across Mexico City, Jalisco and Nuevo León.
- More than 124,000 security personnel from the Armed Forces, the National Guard and local authorities took part under a model of prevention, intelligence, reaction and civil protection.
- Authorities said the deployment allowed tournament activities to proceed with order and provided safety, guidance and assistance to millions of attendees at stadiums, airports, training centers, transit routes and fan zones.
- At the same briefing García Harfuch released enforcement totals through June 30, 2026, reporting about 77 tonnes of cocaine seized by the navy, roughly 59,500 arrests, nearly 31,000 firearms seized and almost 500 tonnes of drugs.
- Officials say the plan left permanent coordination mechanisms and protocols that could change how states run security for major events and routine policing, and independent audits will be needed to verify the government’s reported results.
