On Saturday, early in the second half of a Mexican league game between visiting Atlas and Querétaro FC, a riot broke out in Estadio Corregidora. The brawl has left Mexico in mourning, triggering questions about transparency, security and accountability.
The images coming out of the main soccer stadium in the central Mexican city of Querétaro are as indelible as they are indefensible.
Fans fight during a Liga MX soccer match between host Querétaro and Atlas at Corregidora Stadium on Saturday. The man and the boy are wearing the jerseys of their favorite soccer team. The attackers are wearing the jerseys of their rival. Querétaro club president Gabriel Solares said during a news conference that there were 600 security personnel in a stadium that seats nearly 34,000 people. Why a more robust security presence wasn’t on site for a match between teams with a recent history of fan violence certainly will be addressed in the multiple investigations being promised.
