Mexico City, Mexico: “Mexican authorities haven’t told us anything,” says Enrique Zarazua, who cleans shoes outside the Azteca Stadium. The epicentre of the 2026 World Cup in Mexico City is the legendary Azteca Stadium, which will host five matches, including the opening match. Some street vendors around the stadium woke up one morning to find their stalls dismantled, while others have been left confused for months, unsure when they will be removed and relocated by the authorities.
