The Liga MX Owners’ Assembly published sanctions punish Queretaro and Atlas fans, who took part in the bloody riot on Saturday at the Corregidora Stadium.
Liga MX president, Mikel Arrioladescribed the sanctions as “historic decisions”. Yon de Luisa, the Mexican Soccer Federation (FMF) president, condemned the events and announced the immediate sanctions against Club Queretaro.
“We gave the clubs the right to a hearing. We heard testimonies from stewards and others involved. From the evidence collected, it was proven that there were omissions by the private security company, police officers and Club Queretaro, which was responsible for hiring them,” De Luisa said in a press conference.
“I have been in communication with the presidency of FIFA and CONCACAF. Both organizations condemned the events, but expressed their support. We are not talking about the 2026 World Cup.”
