Summary
Mexican teachers seeking higher pay said they could disrupt 2026 World Cup matches, escalating pressure on tournament organizers a year before kickoff.
The threat is tied to wage demands, turning a labor dispute into a risk for an event Mexico is preparing to co-host.
Organizers were already under scrutiny over airport capacity, traffic congestion and security risks in some host cities.
That adds a new layer of uncertainty to World Cup planning, with labor unrest now joining infrastructure and safety concerns.
