Luis Mendoza Acevedo, head of the Benito Juárez Mayor’s Office, announced the suspension of activities at the “La México” Bullring and the Ciudad de los Deportes Stadium (the Estadio Azul) due to non-compliance with civil protection measures.
The decision was made after massive events were held at both facilities simultaneously tonight, which contravenes the security regulations established in Mexico City (CDMX).

Iconic venues of CDMX
The Plaza de Toros ‘La México’ and the “Estadio Azul” are iconic venues of the country’s capital, located in the Nápoles neighborhood; together they form a sports and entertainment complex.
The Plaza de Toros was inaugurated in 1946 and is considered the largest in the world. Right next door is the Estadio Azul, where a sports match is being played tonight.
The building has been the home of teams such as Atlante, Cruz Azul and América, in addition to hosting American football matches and concerts.
