Liga MX acts after Queretaro-Atlas violence: What has changed? Will it affect Mexico's '26 World Cup plans?

Shock waves reverberated across the soccer world when images of horrifying violence emerged from last weekend's Liga MX match between Queretaro and Atlas.

In the second half of Saturday's game at Queretaro's Estadio Corregidora, play was stopped when fans began to pour onto the pitch after fights between barras supporters' groups had broken out in the stands. Outnumbered as the visitors, Atlas fans were chased by Queretaro ultras wielding impromptu weapons such as seats and pieces of the stadium's advertisement boards.
