SANTA CLARA, Calif. – In just a few weeks, the San Francisco 49ers will return to Mexico City for their highly anticipated Week 11 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings at Estadio Banorte. Today, the team announced plans to bring back La Casa de los Fieles, or Home of the Faithful, at Pinche Gringo BBQ Warehouse Polanco as the team's dedicated fan zone with exclusive events all week long. La Casa de Los Fieles is sponsored by Foliatti Sportsbook and supported by Banorte, Marriott, and San Francisco Travel.
La Casa de Los Fieles also served as the Faithful's central meeting place when the 49ers last played in Mexico City against the Arizona Cardinals in 2022. During that week, more than 12,000 members of the Faithful visited the fan zone for rallies, watch parties, and other events.
"Having played in Mexico City twice before, and once as recently as 2022, taking the field at Estadio Banorte this season will feel like a true homecoming," said Al Guido, 49ers CEO. "Mexico City is our home away from home and the excitement from our fanbase is truly unmatched. Welcoming thousands of fans at La Casa de los Fieles is something our entire organization has been looking forward to all year. We're extremely grateful to our partners who continue supporting our efforts to ensure the Mexican Faithful feels like a part of our family."
"The generations of Faithful in Mexico are some of the most passionate and proud in the world, and this week is about bringing them together and delivering the 49ers fan experience they deserve," said Stephanie Rogers, 49ers Chief Marketing Officer. "Every trip to Mexico is special for us and we couldn't be more excited to return for a full week of fan engagement events and community impact initiatives aimed at growing the game and leaving a lasting impact on the Mexican community.
Below are some of the scheduled fan events taking place at La Casa de los Fieles presented by Foliatti Sportsbook in Mexico City. Any media personnel interested in acquiring event details, attending an event, and/or requesting interviews should contact Jacob Fill (Jacob.Fill@49ers.com).
