Zócalo FIFA Fan Fest Program Revealed: 510-m² Screen, All 104 Matches, Alcohol-Free — 13 Days to Kickoff

Mexico City's government and FIFA confirmed the full program for the Zócalo's central FIFA Fan Festival with 13 days remaining before the World Cup opening match on June 11. The fan zone at Plaza de la Constitución will feature a 510-square-meter LED screen — the festival's centerpiece — and will operate throughout the entire tournament from June 11 to July 19, transmitting all 104 matches. In a socially progressive framing, the Zócalo fan festival will be alcohol-free, family-oriented, and include sports, cultural, and gastronomic programming. The event is free of charge and forms part of Mexico City's 18 distributed fan zones across all 16 alcaldías, which Mayor Clara Brugada had announced the prior week. Brugada emphasized that the fan zones are designed to democratize access to World Cup football for the approximately 12 million CDMX residents who cannot afford or will not attend live matches at Estadio Ciudad de México, where tickets had sold out within hours and resale prices were reaching USD $300–$2,000+. The Zócalo fan zone sits adjacent to the Palacio Nacional and Catedral Metropolitana, offering one of the world's most historically distinctive backdrops for a football festival.
