Protests and last-minute construction work disrupt Mexico City ahead of World Cup

Eight days before Mexico City kicks off the World Cup, mass protests by teachers and retired judges, road closures and last-minute construction work caused chaos in the capital on Wednesday for millions of residents who face long delays ​and complex rerouting of their daily commutes, Reuters reported. 

On June 11, Mexico City will host the inaugural World Cup match between Mexico and South Africa at Azteca stadium in the capital.
