Several fans were seen wearing costumes ranging from calavera-inspired outfits to luchador masks. The cultural village was also filled banners, flags and had all kinds of music playing.

"Mexico has one of the loudest fan bases in Qatar. We rival the Argentinians and Brazilians," said Zargento Tinoco, a Mexico fan from Phoenix, Arizona, who was at the event. "What sets us apart is we are also admired by other nations because we bring colour to life.
