"The FIFA World Cup trophy arrived in Guadalajara to begin a tour of nine cities across Mexico, one of the three host nations of the tournament, which kicks off on 11 June. The tour starts despite recent unrest in parts of the country following the death of notorious drug lord 'El Mencho'. Footage filmed on Saturday shows the first fans arriving at Guadalajara Stadium to see the most prestigious award in international football, in an event attended by Governor of Jalisco Pablo Lemus Navarro. "Today, Jalisco, I have no doubt, is standing, working and consolidating itself as the most Mexican host of the World Cup. Here we are going to experience a great sporting celebration," Navarro told the crowd. The event also featured a representative of Coca-Cola Mexico, Patricio Caso, who stated that the state of Jalisco has returned to "normality" after the disturbances on 22 February caused by the raid and subsequent death of drug trafficker Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as 'El Mencho'. In response to the raid, cartel groups torched vehicles and set up roadblocks in multiple areas, including Guadalajara. "Being here today represents that normality continues and that Mexico is standing, that Jalisco is standing, that Guadalajara is well. And we are going to make this the best World Cup ever," Caso affirmed. While some fans expressed their excitement at seeing the World Cup Trophy for the first time, others said they trust Mexican authorities to guarantee security during the tournament. "We have to trust. I think in the end it’s not in our hands. We have to trust, do our best also to help the security personnel," said fan Jose Antonio Chalita. The event also included footballers such as Mexican Hugo Sanchez and Brazilian Roque Junior, as well as FIFA officials. The World Cup trophy will remain at Guadalajara Stadium until March 2. Afterwards, it will tour other cities in the country, including Leon, Veracruz, Chihuahua, Queretaro, Monterrey, Puebla and Merida. After its stop in Mexico, it will continue its North American tour."
