Inter Miami CF and Espolòn® Tequila Unite for a Month-Long Celebration of Hispanic Heritage

September 13, 2024 - Major League Soccer (MLS)
Inter Miami CF News Release


Inter Miami CF and Espolòn® Tequila are coming together to honor Hispanic Heritage Month, highlighting the vibrant community of fútbol fans that are part of the core of Inter Miami's multicultural identity. While both organizations celebrate Hispanic and Latino culture year-round, this special occasion offers an opportunity to give extra recognition to the fans, players, and traditions that define the Club.

Andrea Sengara, VP of Marketing at Campari Group, expressed excitement about teaming up with Inter Miami for this initiative: "Hispanic Heritage Month is an incredible opportunity to honor the contributions and rich cultural tapestry of Hispanic and Latino communities. Espolòn Tequila celebrates Hispanic culture every day, but we are especially thrilled to bring this celebration to fútbol fans alongside Inter Miami CF. We look forward to sharing the vibrant essence of Hispanic culture with all the passionate supporters of our community."

A Reflection of South Florida's Diversity

With 20 players of Latin American and Spanish heritage, Inter Miami's First Team is a true reflection of South Florida's rich cultural landscape. Players such as Paraguayan midfielder Matías Rojas and Argentine defender Marcelo 'Chelo' Weigandt feel at home both on and off the pitch, celebrating their heritage while contributing to the team's success.

"What makes me most proud of my culture is how modern life coexists with the indigenous heritage passed down to us. I love that [the Guarani language] is still respected and remains a constant part of our daily lives," said Rojas.

Weigandt also shared his pride in his roots: "Being Argentine greatly influences my playing style. Argentine players are seen as warriors, known for their effort and sacrifice. I live by that - I may make mistakes, but my attitude and drive will never falter."
