With football embedded into its daily life, Monterrey is prepared to deliver a seamless<br />

experience that invites fans and visitors from around the world to enjoy the hospitality of the city<br />

and make lasting memories as part of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.<br />

The <strong>United</strong> <strong>Bid</strong> recommends two well-known locations, each of which showcases the best of<br />

football and local culture as options for a FIFA Fan Fest in Monterrey:<br />

Parque Fundidora (Fundidora Park),<br />

Monterrey, Mexico<br />

Historic iconic urban park easily reached by<br />

public transportation. Former steel factory<br />

with some of the original machinery used<br />

as sculptures in the new park.<br />

Explanada de los Héroes (Square of Heroes),<br />

Monterrey, Mexico<br />

15,000 m 2<br />

40,000<br />

Parque Fundidora (Fundidora Park) covers<br />

144 hectares and has two lakes, 23<br />

fountains, and a large number of sheds,<br />

buildings, and machinery, which originally<br />

functioned as a steel factory and today are<br />

part of the heritage of the city. The park<br />

receives more than seven million visitors a<br />

year, hosts many major events, and is easily<br />

accessible via public transportation.<br />

Heroes) is an iconic location in the heart of<br />

the city, in front of the Governor’s Palace<br />

and adjacent to the Macroplaza. The<br />

will make this a memorable and unique<br />

location for a FIFA Fan Fest.<br />
