President Claudia Sheinbaum publicly stated that there is no notification regarding the cancellation of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which is scheduled to be jointly hosted by Mexico, the United States, and Canada. She emphasized that preparations for the tournament are proceeding as planned, with coordination meetings among federal, local authorities, and FIFA continuing as usual. The reassurance comes amid concerns about security and potential threats as the event approaches.

Sheinbaum highlighted that the current security framework in Mexico is robust and prepared for various scenarios related to large international events, particularly in light of Mexico's significant role as a host nation. She pointed out that the risk of terrorism in the country is considered 'very low,' which may alleviate fears for visitors and participants involved in the World Cup festivities. This statement aims to bolster confidence in Mexico’s ability to safely host millions of fans and athletes.

The 2026 World Cup holds special significance as it marks the first time the tournament will be hosted by three countries simultaneously, expanding the event's global reach. Major cities in Mexico, such as Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterrey, are slated to be among the venues, which underscores the country's commitment to showcasing its capabilities on an international stage. The successful execution of the event could enhance Mexico’s international image and foster tourism and economic benefits in the years to come.
