El UniversalIndependentCenter12 hr. agoOn June 10, prior to the start of the World Cup, FIFA President Gianni Infantino hosted a gala dinner at Chapultepec Castle, attended by 200 guests including FIFA officials, football figures, and Mexican authorities. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum later revealed that FIFA paid over one million pesos to rent the historic site. She stated she attended briefly, gave a welcome message, and then left. The National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) confirmed the rental cost was over 1.3 million pesos. In late June, academics from INAH filed a complaint with the Federal Attorney General’s Office (FGR), alleging that using a historical monument for a private event violated Mexico’s National Assets Law.

El INAH justificó la reserva del documento que acredita el pago de más de un millón de pesos realizado por la FIFA como parte de una indagatoria judicial.
