Overview
- Legislators and representatives of multiple barras formally signed a Convenio de Convivencia in the Ciudad de México Congress and a similar document in the Chamber of Deputies to promote nonviolence and shared responsibility at stadiums.
- The initiative was convened by deputy Pablo Trejo Pérez and witnessed by Jesús Sesma Juárez, with signatories including leaders from América, Cruz Azul, Atlante and Puebla among other barra groups.
- Barras presented a six-point operational plan that calls for zero-tolerance internal rules on violence, awareness campaigns for new members, regular coordination between visiting and local leaders, and national congresses for supporter groups.
- The groups asked for the orderly return of organized visiting barras, clearer security protocols, a review of bans on minors in barra sections and relaxed limits on visual materials, but Liga MX and the Mexican Football Federation did not participate in the signing.
- The pact responds to the 2022 Querétaro riot and could affect how Mexico City stages World Cup matches, yet organizers say follow-up meetings with leagues, federations and security authorities are needed to turn the agreement into enforceable matchday rules.
