State of Mexico joins World Cup party, will broadcast 14 matches in its "Futboleros" destinations

The State of Mexico is joining the global World Cup festivities by broadcasting 14 matches across its designated "Futboleros" (Soccer Fan) destinations from June 15 to June 21. This initiative, spearheaded by Governor Delfina Gómez Álvarez, aims to blend the passion for soccer with the region's cultural, tourist, and gastronomic attractions.

Beyond the live broadcasts, the "Estadio de México. Destino Futbolero" strategy includes a range of family-friendly activities. These range from soccer skill challenges and themed inflatables to itinerant film screenings by the Cineteca Mexiquense in various towns. The regional cultural center in Ocoyoacac will host a soccer "Dominadas" (headers) contest, Temascalcingo will feature a sticker exchange, and a documentary on soccer history will be shown at the Archaeological Museum of Apaxco.

Music and performing arts are also part of the celebration. The State of Mexico Symphony Orchestra (OSEM) will perform at the Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA) on June 17. Later, on June 20, an OSEM ensemble will present a tribute to Juan Gabriel in Toluca, while the State of Mexico Polyphonic Choir will perform in Valle de Bravo, enhancing the week's artistic offerings.

This program aims to showcase the state's tourist, cultural, and gastronomic attractions through experiences that merge soccer enthusiasm with local identity and traditions during the World Cup season. The public can find the complete schedule on the official social media channels of @CulturaEdomex.
