As the 2026 World Cup approaches, which will have venues in Mexico, the National Front for the Rescue of the Mexican Field (FNRCM) and the National Transport Association (ANTAC) announced their intention to hold mobilizations during the tournament. These protests aim to draw attention from the thousands of national and international tourists to the critical situation facing Mexican agriculture and transport sectors. A statement addressed to FIFA President Gianni Infantino and Mexican Football Federation President Mikel Arriola indicated that demonstrations are planned for the tournament's opening ceremony in Mexico City.

The mobilizations follow previous protests by transport workers who have been demanding greater security and addressing issues of institutional neglect. Additionally, the Mexican agricultural sector is dealing with a productive crisis, which has further exacerbated these tensions. Organizers assert it is their responsibility to inform authorities and the public that the World Cup's event calendar will coincide with protests involving producers, farmers, transport workers, and citizens united in their cause.

This situation highlights the socio-economic challenges faced by many in Mexico, particularly in rural areas, ahead of a high-profile international event that could overshadow their grievances. As the world turns its focus to the World Cup, the farmers and transport workers hope to position their issues at the forefront, urging not only government intervention but also fostering international awareness of their plight during a time when the eyes of the world will be on Mexico.
