FIFA hosts first Latin American infrastructure workshop in Mexico
FIFA has launched its first infrastructure workshop in Latin America at the Mexican Football Federation (FMF) High Performance Center (CAR) in Mexico. The two-day FIFA Campus Essential Course in Football Infrastructure aims to promote the development of training centers, stadiums, and sports fields through training in planning, construction, and efficient operation.
The event includes 52 representatives from 23 member federations across the continent. FMF Commissioner Mikel Arriola highlighted that FIFA investment of 400 million pesos (approximately 21.7 million USD) has significantly upgraded the CAR. Improvements include the expansion of five buildings from 8,500 to 19,500 square meters, increasing accommodation capacity to 156 people, and expanding the gym from 300 to 800 square meters.
Additional upgrades funded by FIFA Forward include the conversion of pitch 4 to hybrid grass, improvements to pitch 2, the addition of specialized medical equipment, hydrotherapy areas, and rainwater harvesting systems.
