LA Plaza de Cultura y Artes in downtown Los Angeles will serve as Mexico‘s hospitality house for the World Cup, the city announced Tuesday.
Casa Mexico will be open to the general public from June 11 through July 19 during the World Cup. For more than five weeks, the house will provide free programming, live broadcasts of matches featuring the Mexican national team and others, music, visual arts, cultural programming and special activations from Mexican states showcasing their culture, food and tourist attractions.
National hospitality houses are cultural stages hosted by participating countries during major sporting events. Such houses will also be set up for the 2028 Olympics and Paralympics.
The venues are intended to be about more than just watch parties: They’re expected to showcase how different nations celebrate their athletes, share traditions and connect with the world. Similar sites were opened during the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Telemundo 52 KVEA is the official media partner for Casa México Los Angeles. Telemundo is the exclusive Spanish-language home of the World Cup, which is scheduled to begin June 11.
The tournament returns to U.S. soil after more than 30 years with an expanded format and multiple hosts. Eight World Cup matches will be played in the Los Angeles area.
