The partnership is important as it has a historic and contextual significance, too. This is the first time Mexico’s National Team has agreed to work with a sports betting operator. There is a similar trend currently underway north of the border, with many teams and even leagues partnering with sportsbooks as their official betting partners.
Meanwhile, FMF general sales director José Romano was of a similar mind and said that the alliance with Caliente.mx will allow the organization to work towards engaging with fans and deliver fantastic experiences ahead and during the North American World Cup in 2026.
“Let’s celebrate together this relationship that, without a doubt, will be very productive for both of us,” Romano wrapped up.
