In Edomex, Mayor Isaac Montoya Márquez Champions a Bold Epoch for Diving to Honor Naucalpan’s Greats / @isaacsolar @GobNau >>>
#NaucalpanEsDeporte #WorldAquatics2026 —— #Naucalpán, #StateOfMéxico.- The municipality of Naucalpan has emerged as the metropolitan epicenter for national athletics following the historic Ratification of the Federation of Diving and High Diving. During a prestigious gala, Mayor Isaac Montoya Márquez celebrated this transformative milestone alongside legendary figures such as Fernando Platas and Jesús Mena. This strategic alliance aims to fortify the discipline that has historically garnered the highest volume of Olympic and world-class accolades for the Mexican Republic, underscoring its eminence and continuity.
This institutional renewal received the full endorsement of the local administration through the #IMCUFIDEN, drawing elite competitors like the decorated Osmar Olvera. The event served as a formidable platform to announce that the new federation statutes are now strictly aligned with #WorldAquatics, #CONADE, and the COM. Such synchronization ensures that Mexican divers remain at the global forefront of competitive excellence and structural transparency, reinforcing both legitimacy and cohesion.
Mayor #IsaacMontoyaMárquez emphasized his administration’s resolute commitment to high-performance training, particularly at the iconic Cuauhtémoc Unit. By providing a nurturing environment for emerging talent, the local government collaborates closely with the state leadership of Delfina Gómez Álvarez. The objective is clear: to maintain the prestige of a sport that has provided Mexico with its most profound “satisfactions” on the international stage, while cultivating resilience and aspiration.

The assembly welcomed representatives from 14 state associations and prestigious entities like the #UNAM, reflecting a unanimous spirit of cooperation. #MaryJoséAlcalá, head of the Mexican Olympic Committee, urged the creation of a socially responsible body to protect the athletes’ “life-changing stories.” This communal vision places the competitors at the absolute center of every future administrative and technical decision, embodying both solidarity and rectitude.
The ceremony also honored the venerable legacies of pioneers from Mexico 68, including Norma Baraldi and Luis Niño de Rivera. Posthumous tributes were gracefully rendered to #OlegarioVázquezRaña, acknowledging his lasting impact on the nation’s sporting fabric. These accolades bridge the gap between historic triumphs and the modern era of high-altitude excellence, preserving both heritage and continuity.
The path to glory is paved with fortitude, as the federation begins this new chapter of integrity. “Sports can change the world,” as Nelson Mandela once observed, and Naucalpan stands ready to lead that global change. This moment reflects both tenacity and vision
