Los Angeles is about to become the epicenter of Latino soccer fandom as LatiNation presents the Sabor & Seoul watch party, a celebration of Mexico's World Cup run. Powered by Verizon, this event transforms the city into a vibrant gathering where the roar of the crowd meets the rhythm of our culture.

Set against the backdrop of the 2026 World Cup, the watch party is more than just a game—it's a community experience. Fans will gather to watch Mexico take the pitch, united by their love for El Tri and the flavors of home. The event promises a fusion of soccer, music, and culinary delights, reflecting the diversity of Latino communities across the Americas.

Joss Favela Takes the Stage

Mexican singer-songwriter Joss Favela, known for his romantic ballads and regional Mexican hits, will be a highlight of the evening. In a playful segment, he'll be challenged to craft a piropo—a flirtatious compliment—using the most random words thrown his way. It's a test of wit and charm that showcases his quick thinking and deep connection to Mexican culture.

Favela's participation underscores the event's blend of sports and entertainment. As one of Mexico's most popular composers, his presence adds a layer of musical authenticity that resonates with fans from Guadalajara to Los Angeles.

A Celebration of Latino Identity

The Sabor & Seoul watch party is part of a broader movement to honor Latino heritage through shared experiences. From El Northgate to the soccer field, the event bridges generations and geographies. It's a reminder that whether you're from México, Colombia, or the diaspora, the love for the game and our traditions unites us.

Los Angeles, with its deep Latino roots, provides the perfect setting. The city's energy mirrors the passion of fans who will pack the venue, waving flags and chanting for Mexico. This gathering is not just about watching a match—it's about reclaiming space and celebrating our identity in a city that often overlooks our contributions.

What to Expect

  • Live screening of Mexico's World Cup match
  • Interactive games and performances, including Joss Favela's piropo challenge

The event is powered by Verizon, which continues to support Latino communities through technology and connectivity. This partnership ensures that the watch party reaches beyond the venue, streaming moments to fans across the country.

For those unable to attend, the spirit of the event lives on through social media and local gatherings. As Mexico prepares for the World Cup, this watch party serves as a rallying point for fans to show their support.
