Celebrations broke out in Mexico City on Wednesday morning after Mexico's 2-0 victory over Ecuador in the knockout stage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, as reported by journalist Assaf Rosenthal. Video and photos circulating from the capital show fans waving flags, honking car horns, and filling the streets in a festive atmosphere.
As The Zioneer reported earlier today, Mexico secured its round-of-16 berth with the same 2-0 win over Ecuador. The current celebration marks the start of the knockout phase. The team's advance follows a group-stage campaign that included a victory over New Zealand and a loss to hosts Morocco, as reported in earlier coverage.
The scenes in Mexico City echo similar celebrations by diaspora communities during the tournament, including Moroccan and Egyptian fans in New York and The Hague, previously covered by The Zioneer. The precise location of the main gatherings within the city has not yet been specified.
