Mexico City — After Mexico’s elimination from the 2026 FIFA World Cup following a loss to England, fans are organizing a historic farewell for the national team at the iconic Angel of Independence monument.
A viral call on social media platforms such as Facebook and X invites supporters to gather on Sunday, July 12, at 5:00 p.m. at the monument on Paseo de la Reforma. Attendees are asked to wear Mexico jerseys and bring flags.
The event aims to honor the team’s performance in the tournament, which reignited national pride. However, the call has sparked debate online, with some questioning whether it is a genuine tribute or a pretext for a street celebration.
