On the ground, the device will also have strong logistical and technological support. The authorities plan to mobilize more than two thousand military vehicles and several hundred civilian vehicleswhich will be used, among other functions, to escort heads of state and national team delegations. It is also planned to use 24 aircraft for aerial surveillanceas well as monitoring drones, kinesthetic teams with dogs trained to detect explosives and anti-drone systemsdesigned to neutralize any device not authorized to operate during the tournament. Areas of greater sensitivity — such as airports, team hotels, training centers and stadiums — will have reinforced security measures.
The announcement comes in a particularly sensitive context regarding security in the country. In February 22, 2026Mexican armed forces carried out an operation in Jalisco that resulted in the death of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho”leader of the powerful Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel. The operation triggered a wave of violence in several regions of the country, with roadblocks, attacks and clashes between cartels and security forces.
