Why won't América fans be allowed in against Pachuca?

Today, the authorities of the Benito Juárez borough announced that the match between América and Pachuca would be played behind closed doors because the stadium authorities overstepped their bounds by closing Indiana Street in the Ciudad de los Deportes neighborhood, affecting local residents.

They made it clear that until Club América or the company providing security services can prove they are properly trained and accredited, no open-door events will be allowed.

The problem with this situation is that the borough did not inform either Liga MX or Club América, and only posted the announcement on social media, which caused considerable annoyance.

Furthermore, according to the media outlet ‘SDP Noticias’, the real reason for closing the venue was not the one stated in the official announcement.

Rather, it appears to have been a reprisal by the borough mayor because he was not given free VIP box tickets for the match against Pachuca.

In fact, one thing that raises many questions is that the authorities did not specify in which match this situation occurred, since Club América has not played at home since August 9, and the only recent match was América Femenil vs. Santos, a game that barely had just over 2,000 fans, so there was no need to close the street as mentioned in the borough’s statement.

Club América is expected to issue an official statement soon to explain the situation and outline the next steps regarding whether or not fans will be allowed.
