Why Mexico is a priority page

Ticket and hotel checks
Before publishing or recommending a buying path, check:
- FIFA ticketing and hospitality pages.
- Whether a resale listing shows final price, delivery rules, transfer timing, and refund terms.
- Whether the hotel can be canceled or changed after schedule updates.
- Whether the city route is Mexico City or Guadalajara.
- Whether paid links are clearly labeled.
Mexico City vs Guadalajara
Mexico City and Guadalajara should not be treated as one generic trip. Mexico City planning should emphasize airport access, hotel zones, stadium movement, and high-demand dates. Guadalajara planning should emphasize local hotel base, stadium access, evening movement, and intercity travel if fans combine matches.

Squad-watch rules
Do not publish a final Mexico squad, player exclusion, or injury claim unless it is supported by FIFA, the Mexican federation, or another official competition source. If the information is unconfirmed, keep it as a monitoring note and update the page only after the source changes.
