  • Mocorito, Mexico, will broadcast the national team's World Cup match against South Africa on large screens in the main plaza.
  • The event will include pre-game raffles for jerseys and souvenirs, cultural activities, and artistic performances after the match.
  • Other Mexican states like Tabasco and Sinaloa, and cities like Mazatlán and the capital Culiacán, are also planning public broadcasts and related events for the World Cup.

Mocorito, a municipality in Sinaloa, Mexico, is gearing up to host a public celebration for the World Cup, featuring large screens in the Miguel Hidalgo plaza to broadcast the Mexican national team's opening match against South Africa. The event, scheduled for Thursday, will kick off at 11 a.m. with pre-game festivities including jersey and souvenir raffles.

Following the match, attendees can enjoy a cultural program and artistic performances. The group "Maestría Suprema" is set to perform live music in the evening, transforming the plaza into a dance floor. This initiative by the Mocorito City Council aims to create a festive atmosphere for football fans.

Other regions in Mexico are also organizing public viewings. In Mazatlán, one of the day's three scheduled matches will be broadcast with an expected attendance of 10,000 people, followed by a demonstration of the pre-Hispanic ball game Ulama and a drone show. The capital city's Tres Ríos Water Park will screen four matches on Sunday, June 14, including Germany vs. Curaçao, alongside a children's gathering. El Fuerte municipality will also host cultural and sports activities alongside the broadcast of Mexico's match against Japan.
