The Police "discourage" from celebrating in Ceuta the under-20 Spanish national team's match against Mexico due to "the existing migratory pressure"

The National Police has advised the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) against hosting a friendly match between the under-20 national team and Mexico at the Alfonso Murube stadium in Ceuta on September 30. The recommendation was made due to the exceptional situation in Ceuta caused by migratory pressure. The police cited concerns over the high social tension, security needs, and limitations of the stadium, making it difficult to ensure a suitable police presence for the event. The RFEF, led by Rafael Louzán, had planned to host the match at the stadium.
