"Mexico as the only one of the three host countries gave FIFA a full 0% tax exemption for the tournament. And just this week, the teachers' union announced that it is going on strike exactly on the opening day." "Meksyk jako jedyny z trzech krajów gospodarzy dał FIFA pełną ulgę podatkową na czas turnieju 0%. I właśnie w tym tygodniu nauczycielski związek ogłosił, że rusza ze strajkiem dokładnie w dniu otwarcia."

Methodology The first part of the claim, that Mexico was the only one of the three host countries to grant FIFA a full 0% tax exemption for the tournament, is confirmed. Mexico's Finance Ministry confirmed a full tax exemption for FIFA and its designated companies, while the U.S. and Canada had more limited or specific tax benefits. The second part of the claim, regarding a teachers' union announcing a strike on the opening day of the tournament, is also confirmed. The CNTE teachers' union announced and carried out protests and strikes in Mexico City, specifically threatening to disrupt the World Cup inauguration on June 11, 2026. The Mexican government even took measures such as closing schools and advising federal employees to work from home on June 11 due to these planned protests.
