Ecuador reports Mexico fans for noisy hotel protest
The Ecuadorian Football Federation has lodged a formal complaint with FIFA following an incident where approximately 1,000 Mexico supporters gathered outside the team's hotel to disturb their rest ahead of a 2026 World Cup Round of 32 clash in Mexico City. Fans were seen using buckets, pans, and other noisemakers while chanting “Cielito Lindo” until law enforcement intervened to disperse the crowd. Ecuador ultimately lost the match.
