The president of the FMF, Yon de Luisa, indicated that there is a possibility that the country will lose its place as organizer of the World Cup due to homophobic shouting

The president of the Mexican Soccer Federation, Yon de Luisa, recognized that the headquarters of the World cup from 2026, which will share Mexico with the United States and Canada, is at risk, due to the homophobic scream, which has caused FIFA sanctions against Mexican team.

“There is a great risk [de perder la sede del 2026], if it doesn’t end now, how is it possible that we want to host a World Cup, if we are going to have empty stadiums, this has to end and now, right now, “he said Yon de Luisa at a press conference.

The venues for the World Cup 2026 They are still under evaluation and until the end of 2021 they will be made official, because there are still cities in the United States that compete for a match for the world that is contemplated in five years.

It is highlighted that Guadalajara, Jalisco, is one of the venues that would be contemplated for 2026 and it is just the state in which the cry began that now causes problems for the Mexican team.

For now, The Mexican National Team was sanctioned with two veto matches and a fine of 1.5 million pesos, for the homophobic screaming that were heard in some of the games that Mexico played in the Concacaf pre-Olympic.

To this, you can still add the penalty for the match that had the Tricolor in Texas, United States, because the FIFA launched an investigation and the FMF is collaborating to clarify what happened in that engagement.

Today we were also notified that there is another investigation in process, for the game against Iceland“, he sentenced Yon de Luisa.
