Furthermore, the gift didn't stop there, as he also gave the new away jersey of the Mexican national football team, with the number 26 and the official's last name on the back. 'We kicked off with the first playoff match between Bolivia and Surinam from the box with my compadre Gianni Infantino, president of FIFA, to whom we gave his own hat MADE IN NUEVO LEÓN. The city will host four matches: three from the group stage and one from the round of 16. Moreover, the Rayados venue will be the stage for a historic event, as on June 20, the 1,000th match in the tournament's history will be played when Japan faces Tunisia, thus consolidating the regiomontana capital as a key venue in the world's greatest football spectacle.
