WFS Mexico City:
the eve of a new era
The third edition of WFS Mexico City brought together over 1,700 professionals from 43 countries at Camino Real Polanco, one week before the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicked off at Estadio Banorte. Two days of debate on the commercial transformation of Liga MX and MLS, private investment in the region, the evolution of fan behaviour, and the future of women’s football as a business — confirming Mexico City as the meeting point for the global football industry in the Americas.
