Officials say the specialized Fuerza Civil team trained to global standards will stand alert through the four‑week tournament window.

Overview

  • The new unit, introduced Wednesday at Estadio Monterrey, brings 1,500 Fuerza Civil officers into a dedicated crowd‑management force.
  • State leaders created the unit to safeguard World Cup events in Nuevo León, with deployment planned across the weeks when matches and fan activities draw large crowds.
  • Fuerza Civil chief Gerardo Escamilla said members trained under protocols he described as meeting the highest global standards.
  • Graduates ran live crowd‑control drills during the ceremony, giving residents and visitors a preview of tactics designed to keep queues, entrances and transit routes orderly.
