The home of the White Roosters will welcome the fans again with a renewed sense of caution and accountability.
March 5 marks a somber anniversary in Mexican football, commemorating the tragedy at the Corregidora Stadium during the Querétaro against Atlas match in the opening stretch of the 2022 MX season. That afternoon stands as one of the darkest moments in the sport within the country, a day when violence overshadowed the action on the field and cast a long shadow over fans, families, and the sport itself.
Dramatic scenes unfolded in Querétaro as supporters from both sides clashed inside the stadium, turning a competitive fixture into a crisis. The incident drew widespread attention from sports media around the world and sparked immediate calls for accountability and safer venues. In response, Liga MX, together with local authorities, imposed a full-year ban on the Corregidora Stadium and levied multiple sanctions against the Querétaro club. This action reflected a broader commitment to preventing violence at matches and protecting the well-being of everyone involved.
With the one-year mark approaching, GOAL will outline the timing for fans to return to the Corregidora stands and the measures designed to ensure a safe and orderly reopening.
WHEN DOES THE CORREGIDORA STADIUM VETO EXPIRE?
The Corregidora Stadium is scheduled to reopen on Sunday, March 5, welcoming spectators once again. The return will coincide with the match between Querétaro and Toluca, following day 10 of the 2023 Closure tournament of the MX competition. The return of fans will occur under a framework of strict safety protocols, established by local authorities and team management, to prevent a repeat of past incidents.
As part of the reopening plan, security measures include the deployment of hundreds of cameras inside and around the venue to monitor crowd activity and safeguard all entrances, exits, and common spaces. The stadium will operate under enhanced oversight, with additional personnel and revised procedures to manage queues, seating, and access. These steps are intended to create an environment where supporters can enjoy the game while healthcare and emergency readiness remain a priority if any situation arises.
