The monarch has accepted invitations extended by Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and FIFA President Gianni Infantino, according to Spanish royal sources.
The match against Uruguay, which marks Spain’s first-round finale in group play, will be held at the city’s Estadio Akron. Spain previously faces Cape Verde and Saudi Arabia in the group stage.
The visit comes amid a warming of diplomatic relations between Mexico and Spain. Sheinbaum had extended similar World Cup invitations to all nations with which Mexico maintains diplomatic ties.
