Behind the World Cup Facade: How Authorities Hid Poor Neighborhoods in Monterrey

Satellite images and investigative reports reveal that the government of the state of Nuevo León in Mexico carried out measures around the city of Monterrey prior to the 2026 World Cup. Their goal was to enhance the city's appearance for visitors, but they also concealed scenes of impoverished neighborhoods and marginalized areas along the routes leading to the stadium. These measures included building concrete walls, installing metal fences covered with green fabric, and demolishing about 35 structures in the Las Sabinettas area. These actions resulted in visual changes primarily focused on the main roads used by fans. Analyses suggest that these measures aimed to reshape the city's visual facade, highlighting wealthy and developed areas while hiding vulnerable neighborhoods from visitors' view—not just ordinary urban improvements.
