A major setback for Tigres and a quiet moment of celebration in El Barrial.
The playing surface at Estadio Universitario failed FIFA’s stringent inspection, leading to the cancellation of training plans by the national teams of Sweden and Japan at “El Volcán” prior to their World Cup matches in Monterrey.
This shocking news was confirmed by Tigres Vice President Carlos Valenzuela, who disclosed that the club received official notification from FIFA regarding the decision.

After a thorough technical assessment, FIFA inspectors concluded that the turf in San Nicolás de los Garza is not in adequate condition to facilitate training sessions for the international teams.
As a result, both teams will relocate to the facilities of Monterrey Rayados, which meet the high standards required for the international competition.
