The U.S. Soccer Federation issued a statement on Thursday in which it said it has received assurances from Mexico Football Federation (FMF) officials that fans, teams and players will "safely experience" the upcoming World Cup qualifier at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City on March 24.
The statement was issued in response to the violence that took place at last Saturday's Liga MX match between Queretaro and Atlas. The match at Queretaro's Estadio Corregidora was suspended in the 62nd minute after multiple fights broke out in the stands.
