Mexican police fire tear gas at teachers protesting World Cup spending
Thousands of teachers have marched through Mexico City to protest government spending linked to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.Demonstrators say billions are being directed toward hosting football matches while schools across the country continue to face shortages and underfunding.
Police fired tear gas as clashes broke out during the protests, with teachers accusing authorities of trying to suppress the demonstrations.
Protesters carried banners and blocked roads, arguing Mexico is not in a position to host the World Cup while many classrooms lack basic resources.
The demonstrations come as Mexico prepares to co-host the expanded 48-team tournament alongside the United States and Canada next year.
President Claudia Sheinbaum defended her government’s response, saying authorities are addressing some of the teachers’ concerns through dialogue.
But she also acknowledged that budget limitations mean not all demands can be met.
The protests highlight growing debate inside Mexico over public spending priorities and the economic costs of hosting the World Cup.
