Mexico City increases security and limits attendance for Sunday’s World Cup match between Mexico and England after reports of four deaths. Multiple outlets say authorities are tightening measures around key venues used for public viewing and gatherings, including the “Angel of Independence” monument area and a fan festival in the city. The new steps include capping crowd sizes and strengthening on-the-ground security to manage movement and reduce risk in high-traffic areas. Media reports indicate the restrictions are aimed at improving crowd control ahead of the match, while officials also respond to the recent fatalities that prompted scrutiny of public-safety preparations for large events. The coverage describes the measures as temporary and event-related, focused on Sunday’s match and associated public events. The reporting is consistent that Mexico City is taking additional precautions, coordinating policing and crowd management, and restricting capacity where fans typically gather to watch the game.
