Mexico Faces World Cup Project Delays 2 Weeks Before June Opening Ceremony
3 articles · Updated · Nikkei Asia · May 31
Summary
Two weeks before the World Cup opening ceremony, Mexico still will not finish several airport, stadium and rail projects meant to handle the visitor surge.
The delays leave key transport and venue upgrades incomplete even as the country prepares to host World Cup matches for the first time in four decades.
One flagship link — the train connecting Mexico City and Felipe Angeles International Airport — was finished only in April after two years of delays.
The shortfall underscores a broader readiness gap as Mexico enters the final stretch before June events begin.
