Mexico to deploy 100,000 police, military and private security personnel during the World Cup this summer

Mexico is co-hosting the Men's World Cup this summer with the United States and Canada. A total of 13 matches will be played in Mexico.

The country's government unveiled its security plan on Friday, less than two weeks after the violence that followed the killing of feared drug cartel leader Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes during a military operation. Guadalajara, one of Mexico's three host cities, was among the hardest hit by the violence.

The World Cup will be played from June 11 to July 19. The opening match will be played in Mexico City and the World Cup final in New York/New Jersey.
