Spain's Ministry of the Interior has formally requested the cancellation of an upcoming under-20 men's international football friendly between Spain and Mexico, which was scheduled to take place on September 30 in Ceuta. The match had been organized by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) as a gesture of support for the residents of the autonomous city.
The ministry justified its request by citing the ongoing migratory pressure affecting the region, as well as a broader climate of tension in public spaces. The decision by the department led by Fernando Grande-Marlaska highlights security and public order concerns as the primary factors behind halting the sporting event.
