Authorities in Mexico City have seized at least 25 tonnes of counterfeit products related to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, valued at an estimated 15.3 million pesos (US $850,000). The seizure was led by 80 IMPI inspectors, who led the operation. The Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI) is part of the government's crackdown on piracy, illicit trade and product smuggling. While some of the confiscated goods have been destroyed, around 96.8% of the products remain in IMPI warehouses for safekeeping.
