"This is one of the three sports complexes that will host four matches during the 2026 World Cup. The first discoveries, which received little coverage in the national media, came to light in February, when construction workers building a housing development in Las Agujas (a site located just over nine miles north of the stadium) found plastic bags that contained human remains."
"In recent months, in just four of the graves found near the stadium, groups of families of missing people have already counted at least 500 bags. In Jalisco, the missing are made to vanish. This is so it won't be known; they want to erase all traces of the disappeared, says Jaime Aguilar, of Guerreros Buscadores de Jalisco (the Jalisco Searching Warriors collective)."
"According to the group, at least 22 clandestine graves have been discovered in the vicinity of the stadium. Back in September, Aguilar and his fellow members found this clandestine grave under an abandoned auto repair shop, where vehicle remains still protrude from mounds of earth and rubble. The first to arrive is the operator of an excavator. For about four hours nonstop the machine removes the soil, the giant rocks and the undergrowth."
At least a dozen clandestine graves have been located on properties and abandoned land within a 10-mile radius of Akron Stadium in Guadalajara, Jalisco, which will host 2026 World Cup matches. The first discoveries emerged in February when construction workers in Las Agujas found plastic bags containing human remains. Families of missing people counted at least 500 bags in just four nearby graves. Guerreros Buscadores de Jalisco reports that at least 22 clandestine graves have been found and that the disappeared are being erased to hide traces. Excavations have revealed graves under abandoned sites, including an auto repair shop, and heavy machinery has been used to remove soil, rocks and undergrowth during recoveries.
