LAFC, formed in 2018 and already a two-time Supporters’ Shield Champion, represents the diversity of Los Angeles through soccer. According to LAFC Co-President Larry Freedman, “El Mexicano® has developed an iconic brand in Southern California that shares many values with us, like authenticity and community commitment.” This partnership exemplifies their mutual dedication to their supporters, promising a richer engagement with fans through various initiatives that blend sports and culture.
Moreover, El Mexicano® aims to leverage this partnership for elevating the Mexican culture within the soccer community. Not only will they continue supporting grassroots soccer events, but the collaboration with LAFC will also birth fan-focused engagements, cultural activities, and matchday promotions. Such initiatives will enhance the overall matchday experience at BMO Stadium, enriching the connection between fans and their shared love for the game.
The marriage between El Mexicano® and LAFC signifies more than just a brand representation; it symbolizes shared values, pride, and a common vision for community engagement. El Mexicano® recognizes its history is tied to soccer, making this partnership a fitting evolution of their narrative. “We see LAFC as a representation of what we stand for, our history, and the communities we serve,” said Marquez Jr.
Through their collaborative efforts, both entities strive to foster inclusivity, bringing together diverse groups with shared passions and enthusiasm for soccer. El Mexicano® is committed to creating lasting memories, reinforcing its role as a staple in the community while celebrating cultures through food and soccer.
In recent years, Marquez Brothers International has bolstered its presence in the cultural landscape, engaging in partnerships that highlight the traditions inspiring its business models. These include sponsorships with major sporting events, showcasing their commitment to enhancing Hispanic representation.
