(How the World’s Biggest Stage Became a Marketing Goldmine for LatinX Hustlers)
FIFA’s Power Move: Genius or Gamble?
FIFA’s halftime show reveal has sparked debates hotter than a Miami summer: Is this a masterstroke for modernizing soccer or a sellout to commercial glitz? One thing’s clear—it’s happening. With Coldplay confirmed (and rumors of Bad Bunny collabs swirling), the 2026 final isn’t just a match—it’s a cultural crossover event. For LatinX biz leaders, this isn’t just about fútbol; it’s about tapping into a $10B+ ecosystem of sponsorships, merch, and tech-driven fan experiences.
But will purists revolt? Sure. But let’s be real: The Super Bowl, F1, and Coachella already proved—spectacle sells.
