Football Association staff are reviewing security arrangements around England’s team hotel in Mexico City before their last-16 tie against the World Cup co-hosts after Ecuador’s players endured a sleepless night prior to their defeat in the capital on Tuesday.

The Ecuador Football Federation has made an official complaint to Fifa after dozens of Mexico fans gathered outside their hotel in Santa Fe on Monday night before their last-32 match, making an almost constant noise until the small hours with horns, loudspeakers and motorcycle engines. Such guerrilla tactics from fans are not uncommon in Latin American football, and the FA is well aware that the England team hotel could also be targeted.

The FA is confident that it has sufficient security arrangements in place to protect the players, although they remain subject to change if new information becomes available.

There will be a large police presence on the streets before the game in Mexico City, as there has been throughout their leg of the tournament, which has attracted multiple protests from direct action groups representing striking teachers, judges and families of the country’s 130,000 missing people.

England’s fans will be heavily outnumbered in the Azteca, as the FA has been given an official allocation of only 3,000 tickets out of the capacity of 83,264. More England fans are likely to get into the ground, but they will have to pay a premium, with the most expensive ticket listed on resale markets on Thursday priced at £27,300.

Ecuador’s flight from Colombia, Ohio, was delayed by three hours and they also encountered traffic problems in Mexico City which led to a nine-hour journey time.
