England review security before Mexico clash after World Cup hotel chaos

England is reviewing security around its team hotel in Mexico City ahead of the World Cup last-16 clash, prompted by fears that Mexico supporters could try to disrupt Thomas Tuchel’s squad. The Football Association is reassessing arrangements after Ecuador filed an official complaint to FIFA over the treatment of its players ahead of Tuesday’s defeat in the capital. Reports cited dozens of Mexico fans outside Ecuador’s hotel in Santa Fe on Monday night, using horns, loudspeakers and motorcycle engines to create persistent noise into the early hours before the last-32 match. The episode has increased England’s concern as it prepares to play a tournament co-host at the Azteca. While FA officials believe existing security is strong, plans remain under review if new intelligence emerges. England received just 3,000 tickets for travelling supporters, with the highest listed resale price reaching £27,300.
