The World Cup draw just dropped, and Latin America is staring at a bracket that screams chaos and opportunity at the same time. But honestly, it tracks, because the region has been on a heater. We cleaned up at the World Cheese Awards, Bad Bunny reclaimed his throne as the most-streamed artist on Earth, and Perla Figuereo just won Squid Game: The Challenge season 2 and walked off with $4.56 million. This whole continent is in its winning era.

SPORT-ISH CHISME

🎨 Visa is using Miami Art Week to soft launch its World Cup era, teaming with JOOPITER on a global art collection that turns the beautiful game into a canvas.

 đźŚ® Dua Lipa opening a taqueria in CDMX was the plot twist none of us had on our 2025 bingo card. Who’s coming with us? 

 đź‡©đź‡´ These two Dominican creatives pulled up to NYFW and said fashion can do more.

🎶 Ice Spice is speaking Spanish for the first time on “Thootie” with Tokischa, a Bronx meets DR crossover we fully support. 

First World Cup in North America since 1994, except
now it's bigger and spread across three countries.
June 2026. Book your PTO.

 WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:  

  • Mexico opens the tournament against South Africa in Group A. Sounds ceremonial until you remember opening matches are historically brutal, defending champs France drew Senegal in 2002, and Italy lost to Costa Rica in 2014. Mexico sets the tone while a continent watches.

  • Brazil vs. Haiti in Group C is your only regional collision.

  • Colombia got Portugal in Group K. Cristiano will be 41. Either it's his last dance, or Colombia catches Portugal in transition.

  • Argentina's Group J looks suspiciously clean. No European giant, no CONCACAF chaos. The defending champs either got lucky or FIFA just cleared their path.

  • Bolivia's playoff path: Beat Suriname and Iraq in March, join Group I.

  • Panama jumps into Group L with England and Croatia, certified underdog storyline.
