Mexican retail association ANTAD reported a 1.6% decline in same-store sales for June 2026, attributing the underperformance to the World Cup failing to stimulate consumer spending as anticipated. While specialized retail segments saw a 3.1% growth, the overall contraction highlights a disconnect between major sporting events and retail revenue in the current economic cycle.
