This Thursday, March 17, Yon de Luisa, president of the Mexican Federation of Association Football (FMFA), and Mikel Arriola, president of the BBVA MX League went to the Chamber of Deputies to establish a productive dialogue with the Political Coordination Board (Jucopo) and, in this way, avoid tragedies such as which took place at the Corregidora Stadium on 5 March.
Rubén Moreira Valdez, deputy of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and president of the Jucopo in San Lázaro, thanked the Federation and the League for accepting this meeting in a constructive environment and keeping communication spaces open.
The meeting was also attended by María José Alcalá, legislator for the Green Ecologist Party of Mexico (PVEM) and president of the Sports Commission, who pointed out the importance of teaming up and working together to strengthen the laws of sport, because “football belongs to everyone”.
What was sought with this first meeting is to strengthen legislative initiatives that contribute to improving safety, accessibility, use of technologies and promoting violence-free conditions in sports events and, particularly, in football.
The pronouncements issued during the meeting will be managed by the Sports Commission, with the intention of creating a legal framework that gives legal certainty to mass events of this nature, which must remain in family conditions to eliminate violence and discrimination, as well as standardize the safety standards applied in stadiums and make efforts to expand campaigns for the promotion of a culture of peace in this sport.
On their own, sports entrepreneurs reiterated their willingness and willingness to end violence in sporting events, thus proposing that it would be the end of sports bars.
“It was a space for us to specify the measures to end the bars, but they require implementation. What we are explaining to the deputies today is how we are going to implement the identification of animation groups,” said Arriola Peñalosa.
During a later statement, Moreira Valdez joined the call of the sports promoters and endorsed this idea, since what must prevail, above all interests, is the welfare of the people who attend football matches.
Finally, it should be recalled that the incident that began as a fight in the 62nd minute of the Queretaro - Atlas match, ended in a brawl that left at least 26 hospitalized as a result of the injuries they were victims. This is because the Gallos Blancos fans, seeing that their team was losing 1 - 0 to the rojinegros, began to attack the visiting fans.
The violence lasted hours, as the police who were at the event were overtaken by the aggressors. Likewise, social networks were flooded with videos documenting the type of attacks carried out by fans of the White Roosters. So the team and, in general, almost all the figures in the sport (teams, coaches, businessmen and commentators), condemned what happened.
