Why I'm In Matters

A city is its people. A tournament is its strangers.

The big screens at the official Fan Festival are unforgettable — but the matches you'll remember happen in someone's backyard, on a bar patio, or at a rooftop your friend's friend is hosting. I'm In is how Monterrey locals open those doors, and how visitors find them.

Spanish helps a lot

Outside San Pedro and hotel zones, English is limited.

Arrive 2+ hours early

Estadio BBVA sits in Guadalupe/Apodaca with limited public transit. FIFA security perimeters add 30–60 min.
