At the Malecón Tajamar in Cancun, hundreds of people gathered hours before kickoff, wearing Mexican national team jerseys and waving flags. Lezama toured the venue alongside Verónica Lezama Espinosa, honorary president of the DIF Quintana Roo system; Landy Canché Pantoja, acting mayor of Benito Juárez; and Juan Pablo de Zulueta, tourism secretary of Benito Juárez.
