Mexico City's Zócalo sets 2026 World Cup Fan Fest attendance record

Mexico City's Zócalo has concluded its role as a vibrant epicenter for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, drawing a record-breaking 2,008,500 attendees to its FIFA Fan Festival. This remarkable turnout solidifies the Zócalo's status as a passionate cultural hub for the global tournament.

The Mexican national team's exit from the World Cup after their Round of 16 match against England marked the end of the country's participation in hosting matches. However, the FIFA Fan Festival in the Zócalo continued to offer a lively atmosphere, broadcasting live matches for free even after the local team's departure.

Organizers expressed deep gratitude to both local and international fans for making the festival an unforgettable event. While the on-field action in Mexico has concluded, the Zócalo remains a focal point for fans, continuing to screen matches leading up to the Grand Final. The festival's success highlights the enduring passion for football and its power to unite communities, even as the tournament progresses to its next stages elsewhere.

Agradecemos profundamente a la afición local e internacional por hacer de esta fiesta un evento inolvidable. Aunque la actividad en la cancha local ha terminado, la transmisión de los partidos rumbo a la Gran Final continúa en vivo y de forma gratuita en el Zócalo
