Local authorities did not disclose the fan's nationality, but according to DPA, he is not Mexican. High temperatures are expected to be a significant concern for both players and fans during the longest World Cup in history, co-hosted by the USA, Mexico, and Canada.

Mexico City also sits at a high altitude, adding another layer of challenge.
