This Ana Bárbara performance will launch a four-day celebration of fan and media events leading up to the annual MexTour match in the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex. This year’s marquee showdown will feature two top-15 FIFA-ranked national teams – Mexico (13th) vs. Colombia (14th) – on Saturday, October 11, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, presented by AT&T. The match falls during the October FIFA international window, ensuring both teams will field full-strength squads.
The week’s festivities will also feature the conclusion of Copa Kin 2025, the Mexican National Team’s annual reading competition held across multiple school districts in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. In partnership with the Dallas Sports Commission, the program rewards students with match tickets and other prizes for their reading achievements. Since its launch six years ago, participating students have logged more than 30 million minutes of reading time.
MexTour Dallas is presented in partnership with the Federación Mexicana de Futbol (FMF), Soccer United Marketing (SUM), and local partners the Dallas Cowboys, FC Dallas, and the Dallas Sports Commission.
