Mexico City. Long lines are forming on Madero and Simón Bolívar streets to enter the Zócalo Fan Fest. Hundreds of people, most wearing the Mexican national team jersey, await their turn in pairs, with family, or with friends, advancing in an orderly manner so far.
Among the attendees are fans from different states such as Yucatán and Chihuahua, who wait for their access to the event while chanting slogans like “¡Viva México!” and also wearing sombreros and items in keeping with the festive mood.
In the area there are also tents installed by members of the National Coordinator of Education Workers, which reduces the space for the passage of fans.
For several minutes, various attendees tried to enter the Fan Fest in a disorganized way; however, it was the fans themselves who called for order to be maintained and access facilitated.
