Federación Mexicana de Fútbol and Expedia announced a multi-year partnership designating the leading travel company as the official U.S. travel partner of the Mexican men’s national soccer team in the United States.

Expedia will have a presence on the field and in-stadium for all events in the MexTour across the United States, where the team prepares for competitions like the FIFA World Cup and Concacaf Gold Cup. Now in its 19th edition, the MexTour has become one of the most popular soccer events in the U.S., with an average attendance of 60,000 fans per match in the last decade.
