The inaugural match of the World Cup is scheduled to take place in Mexico City on June 11th, featuring a clash between Mexico and South Africa. According to Mexican officials, the event is anticipated to attract around 5.5 million international tourists. As co-hosts of the World Cup, Mexico intends to mobilize close to 100,000 security staff to ensure the safety of fans during this summer’s event, given the persistent drug cartel-related violence in the nation.
