Extensive Security Measures for the Match<\/h2>\n

The Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC) of Mexico City has announced a comprehensive security operation for the upcoming friendly soccer match between Mexico and Portugal. Scheduled for 7:00 p.m. at the Azteca Stadium, this event will see the deployment of over 4,613 police officers<\/b> to ensure the safety of all attendees.<\/p>\n

Technological Enhancements in Security<\/h3>\n

Part of the security strategy includes advanced technological resources. The SSC will utilize two drones<\/b> from the \u00c1guila Unit, alongside a helicopter from the C\u00f3ndores group. To provide immediate assistance, four ambulances<\/b> and two motorcycle ambulances<\/b> from the Rescue and Medical Emergencies Squadron (ERUM) will also be available.<\/p>\n

These measures aim to enhance surveillance inside and outside the stadium, ensuring rapid response in case of emergencies.<\/p>\n
