Mexican fans who cannot afford FIFA World Cup match tickets are instead celebrating in public spaces and watching games outdoors across Mexico City and other neighborhoods. Multiple outlets describe crowds gathering in plazas, in front of televisions set up in informal outdoor viewing areas, and even in working-class districts with vendors nearby. The coverage focuses on scenes where fans line up around screens propped up on plastic tables, underpasses, and at places such as taco stands, cheering collectively as Mexico plays matches during the tournament. The reports attribute the shift away from stadium attendance to high ticket prices for games being hosted by Mexico alongside the United States and Canada. Rather than going to the stadiums, many fans turn to street-level gatherings to experience the tournament atmosphere and follow Mexico’s national team in real time. While the outlets differ mainly in how they depict the settings and day-to-day scenes, they consistently portray the same pattern: affordability barriers keep some supporters from attending matches, and those fans build alternative spaces to celebrate and watch the games together.
