Cancún, QRoo — Governor Mara Lezama surprised athletes participating in the 2026 State Transformation Leagues by announcing that the finals scheduled for February 14 and 15 will be held in Quintana Roo’s most representative professional venues.

“This speaks of growth, talent, and that in Quintana Roo we continue working as a team, always saying yes to sports,” expressed Mara Lezama.

Therefore, she announced that the finals will be played at the Andrés Quintana Roo stadium for soccer; the Poliforum Cancún for basketball; the Beto Ávila stadium for baseball; the March 13 Field of the Cancún Taxi Union for softball; and the Kuchil Baxal gym for volleyball.
