Glorieta de La Minerva
A concert by the local rock legends Maná at the iconic Glorieta de la Minerva — and it's free. The day before Mexico's match, so expect it packed.

Glorieta de La Minerva
The second highlight at La Minerva, also free. "El Potrillo" is an institution in Mexico — when he starts to sing, the whole square sings with him. The exact date is still to be confirmed. (Don't confuse it with his paid performance at "México Vibra" in CDMX.)

Estadio Akron
A match for the home side, Mexico — the streets will be alive. The whole city stops in front of the screens and, after the match, heads out to celebrate. This is the atmosphere you travel to the football for.

Zapopan, Parque Rojo, Parque La Mujer, Plaza Las Américas
Don't fancy the downtown crowds? The matches are shown elsewhere too — the largest screen is in Zapopan in front of the basilica (~8,000 people), plus Parque Rojo, Parque La Mujer and Plaza Las Américas. The same atmosphere, less of a crush. The exact spots still await official confirmation.
Guadalajara — venue to be confirmed
A guitar legend and a native of Jalisco. His appearance is so far only being considered — nothing confirmed.

Plaza Vía Viva · from 16 Jun
An immersive Vincent van Gogh exhibition — about 90 minutes of light, music and projections that you literally step inside the paintings. It's not football, but a great cultural breather between matches. Opens 16 June at Plaza Vía Viva (entrance by the stairs to IKEA).

Paseo de la Reforma → Zócalo
A spectacular parade down the famous Paseo de la Reforma avenue all the way to the Zócalo — traditional costumes, music and the culture of Mexico's regions in one stream of people. World Cup atmosphere beyond the stadium too.

Estadio Ciudad de México
This is THE match. Czechia against the home side Mexico, in the cauldron of one of the largest stadiums on the planet, where over 80,000 El Tri fans will be roaring at full volume. If there's a single match worth flying halfway across the world for, it's this one. Our boys will have it tough — but the idea of silencing all of Ciudad de México for a moment is worth it. Be there. You'll be telling this story for the rest of your life.
