Metro Zócalo/Tenochtitlán Station Suspended; Perisur Closes Through May 31 in World Cup Final Sprint

With 17 days remaining before the June 11 World Cup opening match at Estadio Azteca, Mexico City's Metro entered its final renovation sprint on May 25, adding new temporary closures to those already in effect. Zócalo/Tenochtitlán station on Line 2 — one of the network's busiest and most symbolically important stations — suspended service, with Pino Suárez and Allende designated as alternative points of access to the historic center. Perisur station on Line 1 was closed from May 25 through at least May 31. Ongoing closures at San Antonio Abad, Portales, and Nativitas (Line 2) continued without a confirmed reopening date. These closures reflect the accelerated final phase of the Brugada government's commitment to renovate 20 Metro stations before June 11. On May 22, Jefa de Gobierno Clara Brugada declared 90% of all World Cup infrastructure works complete and reaffirmed the May 31 deadline for station renovation completion. CDMX is simultaneously managing 18 free public fan zones distributed across all 16 alcaldías, a tourism consumer protection task force monitoring hotels and Airbnb hosts for price gouging, and the Parque Elevado Tlalpan elevated park along Calzada Tlalpan — scheduled to open May 31 as an additional fan promenade corridor.
