Leon municipal authorities detained 22 people for administrative offenses around Sunday’s Leon vs Chivas de Guadalajara match at Estadio Leon, the city’s security secretariat said in its official balance on Monday, November 9, 2026.
Fifteen of the detentions were for participating in fights, carried out mainly outside the stadium, according to the balance published by the Secretaria de Seguridad, Prevencion y Proteccion Ciudadana (SSPPC).
Five more people were detained for disorder, throwing beer toward the playing area and making homophobic expressions. One person was detained for urinating in public and another for entering the field.
The operation also included traffic police work around the stadium, Civil Protection inspections of fixed and semi-fixed stalls, and municipal supervision of alcohol sales and of the private security services hired for the event.
The Video Outside the Stadium
The official balance does not mention the episode that spread across social media on Monday. Video carried by Mediotiempo and other outlets shows a group of Leon supporters surrounding a lone Chivas de Guadalajara supporter outside the stadium before the match, beating him and pulling off his shirt.
Pagina Central located the attack at the corner of Boulevard Adolfo Lopez Mateos and Calle 11 de Julio and put the group at between 10 and 12 people.
The municipality has not confirmed that any of the 22 detainees was involved in that attack. The balance identifies none of the detainees, gives no club affiliation for them, and announces no criminal charges.
Still No Word From the League
As of Monday evening, neither Liga MX, Club Leon, Chivas de Guadalajara nor the FMF’s Comision Disciplinaria had published a statement or a sanction over the incidents.
It is the second security incident at Estadio Leon this season. In October, a glass bottle thrown from the stands landed near Henry Martin during the Leon vs Club America match.
Pagina Central also reported a claim of at least 80 detentions inside the stadium after the match. The official balance puts the total at 22, and no authority has confirmed the higher figure.
The match itself finished 1-1 in Jornada 16 of the Apertura 2026. FutnSoccer will update this story if the league, either club or the Comision Disciplinaria announces measures.
