Dry Law Implemented for the Mexico vs. Czechia Match<\/h2>\n

The Government of Mexico City<\/strong> has enacted a dry law<\/strong> effective from 3:00 PM<\/strong> on June 24<\/strong> until 7:00 AM<\/strong> on June 25<\/strong>. This measure affects Perimeter A<\/strong> of the Historic Center<\/strong> and three adjacent neighborhoods: Ju\u00e1rez, San Rafael,<\/strong> and Cuauht\u00e9moc<\/strong>. The decision to impose this restriction coincides with the critical match between the national team and the Czech Republic<\/strong> as part of the 2026 World Cup<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Reasons Behind the Dry Law<\/h3>\n

The dry law comes after a massive celebration following Mexico’s victory over South Korea, which witnessed approximately 400,000 attendees<\/strong> in the streets, leading to 40 tons of garbage<\/strong> collection. The authorities aim to avoid similar scenarios of public disorder and promote safety during the event.<\/p>\n

Prohibitions and Compliance Monitoring<\/h2>\n

All establishments within the specified areas\u2014such as wineries, grocery stores, supermarkets,<\/strong> and department stores<\/strong>\u2014are prohibited from selling any alcoholic beverages during the designated time. Notably, this restriction applies to all types of commercial entities without exceptions.<\/p>\n

Sanctions for Non-Compliance<\/h3>\n

Sanctions for businesses that violate the dry law can be severe. Fines range from 41,175 to 293,275 pesos<\/strong>, equivalent to 351 to 2,500 Units of Measurement and Update (UMA)<\/strong>. Additionally, authorities may enforce a temporary closure of the violating business.<\/p>\n

The only exceptions allowed pertain to authorized restaurants<\/strong>, hotels<\/strong>, and private clubs<\/strong>, where alcoholic beverages may be served but only when accompanied by food and consumed on-premises. Consumption or take-out sales in public spaces are strictly prohibited.<\/p>\n

Penalties for Public Consumption<\/h2>\n

Individuals caught drinking in public during the prohibition could face fines of between 2,463 and 3,519 pesos<\/strong>, or be subjected to administrative arrests<\/strong> lasting between 25 to 36 hours<\/strong>. Community service of 12 to 6 hours<\/strong> may also be enforced as a punitive measure.<\/p>\n

Security Measures for the Match<\/h3>\n

Although the Government Secretary<\/strong> did not specify the exact number of security personnel deployed, this dry law is part of a larger operation aligned with the soccer match that kicks off in the afternoon at the Mexico City Stadium.<\/p>\n

As Mexico prepares to face the Czech Republic, the authorities hope these measures will contain any potential public disorder while ensuring that the celebratory atmosphere remains safe for all spectators.<\/p>\n
