Infantino very reassured over Mexico 2026 despite cartel violence

FIFA President Gianni Infantino says he is very reassured about Mexico’s readiness to host 2026 World Cup matches despite a wave of cartel violence that shocked the country this week.​ Speaking in Barranquilla, Colombia, he described the tournament as “spectacular” and said everything is on track, even after deadly unrest linked to the killing of Jalisco New Generation Cartel leader Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera. Cartel gunmen went on a rampage in several states, including host city Guadalajara, blocking roads and burning vehicles and businesses.​ At least 74 people were killed during the operation to capture Oseguera near Guadalajara and in subsequent clashes between security forces and suspected cartel members, according to the Mexican government. Only one of those killed was reported as a civilian, but residents and tourists described scenes that felt like a war zone.​ Images of the violence, […]

Cartel Violence Casts Shadow Over Guadalajara

Driving into Guadalajara days after a wave of cartel violence, the aftermath remains visible. Burnt-out vehicles line major roads and blackened stretches of highway mark where dozens of cars were set ablaze during a coordinated rampage attributed to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. The violence followed reports that the cartel’s leader, Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera, had been killed. The message from the group was unmistakable: with or without its chief, the CJNG retains the capacity to paralyse a major city and project power through fear. Mexico’s president, Claudia Sheinbaum, sought to calm concerns, saying in her daily press conference that order was being restored and praising the response of security forces. Yet the heavy presence of soldiers and police convoys across Guadalajara has done little to ease public anxiety. Streets remain quieter than usual, with many schools closed and small […]

CJNG Violence Erupts After El Mencho’s Death

Members of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) have launched coordinated attacks across 20 Mexican states following the death of their leader, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho.” El Mencho died in custody on Sunday shortly after being captured by Mexican special forces. He had been seriously wounded during a firefight between his security detail and military commandos in the town of Tapalpa, Jalisco. Authorities said he died while being transported to Mexico City. At least six of his bodyguards were killed in the operation, and three soldiers were injured. As news of his death spread, CJNG members responded with widespread violence.

Mexico fears Colombian narcos may sneak in as World Cup fans

Mexican authorities are working to stop Colombians linked with local drug cartels from using the 2026 World Cup to enter the country as fans. Security officials in Jalisco State say they are on high alert ahead of the tournament, which will bring tens of thousands of visitors to host city Guadalajara. Roberto Alarcon, Jalisco’s coordinator for strategic security, said there is a growing trend of Colombian ex soldiers and former guerrillas being recruited by organised crime in Mexico. He noted that some foreign nationals had already been turned back after failing to clearly explain the purpose of their visit. Officials fear that as the World Cup draws closer, foreign recruits could try to slip in using tourist packages and match tickets as cover. Alarcon warned that Guadalajara is an attractive base for certain criminal groups seeking to expand their operations. […]

Barcelona reaches Copa del Rey last 16 with 2-0 win

Barcelona secured a 2-0 victory over third-tier Guadalajara on Tuesday, reaching the last 16 of the Copa del Rey after late goals from Andreas Christensen and Marcus Rashford. Despite dominating possession—holding over 80%—Barcelona struggled to break down Guadalajara’s compact five-man defense at the Pedro Escartin stadium. The home side remained dangerous on counterattacks, keeping the Catalans on edge throughout the match. Coach Hansi Flick introduced key starters Pau Cubarsi, Alejandro Balde, Jules Kounde, and Pedri in the second half, aiming to find a breakthrough. The tactic paid off in the 77th minute when Frenkie de Jong delivered a precise cross from the right. Christensen rose highest to head the ball, which deflected off Julio Martinez and found the net. Guadalajara nearly responded immediately, with Salifo Caropitche firing a powerful long-range shot, but Marc-Andre ter Stegen—making his first appearance for Barcelona […]
