Fans Plan Historic Farewell for Mexico National Team at Angel of Independence
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.
