"Federal infrastructure projects in Mexico for the 2026 FIFA World Cup will be completed in time for the start of the tournament in June, Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum announced on Monday. The projects include the renovation of the two terminals at Mexico City International Airport, and construction of a train line connecting the city with Felipe Ángeles International Airport in Santa Lucía, about 30 miles from Mexico City."
""This is not only a time to see the best soccer but also a time to share with the world who we are, what Mexico is -- not only a country of immense cultural richness but also a country experiencing a historic moment," Sheinbaum said at a news conference. Sheinbaum became Mexico's first female president last year. She added that other federal projects will also be carried out in Monterrey, in northern Mexico, and in the western city of Guadalajara."
