From the Maracanã stadium in Tepito, Mexico City, to the western part of Guadalajara, I followed the pulse of barrio football, where teams proudly carry names like Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Brazil, honoring their jerseys with passion. The vibrant streets of Tepito set the stage for raw energy, while Guadalajara brought a different kind of intensity, rooted in tradition and community pride. This documentation, created during my assignment for L'Équipe, delves into the deep heart of Mexican football culture, where the game transcends sport and becomes a way of life.
