Mexico City is poised to make history as it prepares to host the 2026 World Cup for the third time. Mayor Clara Brugada announced this milestone event on Wednesday by unveiling a countdown clock.

"All football fans are welcome in Mexico City," declared Brugada at the FIFA event, highlighting the city's vibrant diversity as its greatest treasure. She assured fans from around the world that they would be embraced with open arms, along with their cultures and languages.
As part of the preparations, over six billion pesos will be invested in improving public services and infrastructure around the Azteca Stadium. Additionally, 40 landmarks in the city will be illuminated in green, symbolizing the festive spirit leading to the global football event.
