Businesses cannot use FIFA branding or suggest they are associated with the tournament without authorization.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last three months, the Mexican government\u2019s anti-piracy agency has seized more than 105,000 items worth $1.3 million in three operations, sweeping Mexico City\u2019s historic center, where the \u201cFan fest\u201d for the tournament will be hosted.<\/p>\n<p>In the warehouse of the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI), coordinator Jose Eduardo Saavedra walks past bags overflowing with unfolded clothes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The red marker letters on the tape on one bag say \u201c50 Adidas,\u201d referring to the brand that produces Mexico\u2019s official shirt.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat the presumed offenders will need to prove is that they are authorized to use these logos, these brands or in their case (to show) that the products are original,\u201d Saavedra said.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 \u2018Very similar\u2019 \u2013<\/p>\n<p>Authorities are also conducting anti-piracy operations in the other two Mexican cities hosting the World Cup, Guadalajara and Monterrey.<\/p>\n<p>But the illicit trade continues. Some hawk the national shirt as if they were selling drugs, whispering to potential buyers, keeping the shirt hidden until payment is made.<\/p>\n<p>Others simply take the money and never deliver the product.<\/p>\n<p>One street vendor, who requested anonymity, lost all her pirated merchandise in a recent police crackdown. But the authorities never returned, so the vendor resumed the black market business. She offers low-quality shirts for around $14, and copies closer to the originals for almost $40.<\/p>\n<p>And as the June 11 opener approaches, business is booming.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe quality is really similar, it\u2019s not the same obviously, but it is very similar,\u201d 25-year-old barista Emanuel Diaz told AFP.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
