- During her morning briefing, President Claudia Sheinbaum said the team should file a complaint if it has evidence of corruption or intimidation by Mayor Luis Alberto Mendoza Acevedo.
- The mayor announced plans to pursue defamation cases against individuals and media who accused him of wrongdoing, stating that Club América is not a target of those actions.
- Benito Juárez authorities ordered the Aug. 30 América–Pachuca match to be played behind closed doors, citing an alleged unauthorized street closure that impeded a neighbor’s passage, a version the club disputes as abuse of authority.
