Public Holiday in Nuevo León for Netherlands vs Morocco Match
June 28, 2026 · Global
Mexicanen krijgen vrije dag vanwege Nederland - Morocco. De Mexicaanse deelstaat Nuevo León heeft maandag uitgeroepen tot vrije dag vanwege de zestiende finale tussen Nederland en Marokko op het WK, om de verwachte drukte van Nederlandse en Marokkaanse supporters te faciliteren.
Governor Samuel García announced this decision via his social media account. 'With the results in mind, we have the fourth and final match of the World Cup on Monday, June 29: Netherlands against Morocco in the round of 16. FIFA has just confirmed that between 15,000 and 20,000 Dutch fans will come from Kansas City to Monterrey, plus thousands of Moroccan supporters and many fans from Nuevo León itself.' To overcome the expected congestion, the local government decided to suspend some public activities. 'Like Guadalajara and Mexico City, we have decided to make the day a holiday. There will be no lessons in public and private schools, at all levels of education. The same applies to government offices. "Essential services will of course continue to run, but everyone out of work can enjoy the World Cup from midday." García also called on the private sector to work together. 'I invite the private sector to help us with flexible working, working from home or evening shifts. Show matches at work.' Monterrey has previously hosted three sellout group games. According to García, the tournament in the city went well. 'I am very happy. The World Cup was a great success, the Fan Fest went off without incident, and I hope Mexico also wins their game on Tuesday.' Mexico's opponent is not yet known.
