Mexico Football Federation Fined $2.3 Million Over Fan Data Violations
The Mexican government imposed a fine of 42.8 million pesos (approximately $2.3 million) on the Mexican Football Federation due to violations related to the protection of personal data, particularly concerning the "Fan ID" system used during the 2026 World Cup. Authorities indicated that the federation did not clarify to fans how their biometric data would be processed and did not obtain the explicit and written consent legally required, which constitutes a breach of legal principles concerning the handling of sensitive data. The fine was also based on the seriousness of the violations and the sensitive nature of the data processed, with the option to challenge the decision through legal procedures.
