And the internet users even called for the cancellation of the rest of the Clausura 2022 season.
This demand became a trend on social networks after national media made public the images of the tragedy that took place yesterday at the Estadio Corregidora.
The terrible event began when the Atlas and Querétaro supporters' clubs started a fight in the stands 15 minutes into the second half of the match. The fight escalated and the barras took the stadium's field to continue their fight.
On social networks, thousands of people demanded Mexico's ban from the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The tragedy that occurred in Liga MX left no one indifferent and thousands of people, both Liga MX fans and users in general demanded that Mexico be banned from the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
This demand is due to the fact that Mexico, together with the United States and Canada, will host the FIFA World Cup in 2026, so internet users demanded the cancellation of Mexico's participation in such a tournament.
The arguments used by internet users were mainly that, if security cannot be guaranteed in a Liga MX match, much less can the security of those attending a FIFA World Cup be guaranteed.
They also demanded that Liga MX be canceled
Internet users were also very energetic and demanded that Liga MX be canceled as this event shows that there is not enough security in the stadiums for families to watch the matches.
This demand became stronger after the case of a family that went to the stadium and when the altercation between the rival teams started, they had to take the shirt of one of the teams from one of the sons of the family, to avoid being assaulted in the stadium.
This event, together with the images of the barras attacking their rivals with objects such as chairs or chains, aroused the indignation not only of Liga MX fans but of an entire country.
There were also demands for Querétaro to be disqualified from Liga MX
Among the thousands of tweets that expressed their rejection of what happened, they also demanded that Querétaro be disqualified from Liga MX since it was the responsibility of the club and the stadium to protect the fans.
And this is one of the demands that has resonated the most since, in the images of the match, it can be seen that there are too few policemen in the stadium to have been able to stop the barras.
About this demand, the press questioned the president of Liga MX, Mikel Arriola, who said that this possibility exists since the clubs maintain a close relationship with the barras, so this measure could also be taken to punish the team for not having adequate measures to take care of the safety of those attending the match.
