Canada, Mexico and US team up for Pinoy Football Fiesta at SM Mall of Asia

THE embassies of Canada, Mexico, and the United States, together with SM Supermalls, Blast TV, and the Philippine Football Federation (PFF), invite the public to the Pinoy Football Fiesta on Saturday, June 13, at the SM Mall of Asia’s MOA Sky in Pasay City.

This free celebration brings together sports, culture, and community as North America hosts the FIFA World Cup 2026 from June 11 to July 19.

With the support of Blast TV, the public is invited to a watch party at the MOA Sky Amphitheater with the live broadcast of the opening ceremony at 7:30 a.m. The US opening match against Paraguay will kick off at 9 a.m.

PFF, with the support of McDonald’s, will also lead a youth football clinic at the adidas Football Park, giving young athletes tips and drills to sharpen their skills and to experience the unifying power of sports.

The Pinoy Football Fiesta highlights the shared commitment of Canada, Mexico, and the United States to deepen people‑to‑people ties, promote sports diplomacy, and celebrate decades of friendship with the Philippines.

FIFA World Cup 2026 is the largest in history and the first to be co-hosted by three nations: Canada, Mexico, and the United States. This year’s historic tournament features 48 national teams playing 104 matches across 11 US cities, two Canadian cities, and three Mexican cities. The tournament emphasizes the value of international cooperation in achieving shared objectives and strengthening ties among neighboring nations in the Western Hemisphere.
