Mexico fans celebrate group stage sweep at FIFA Fan Fest
FIFA Fan Festival Dallas was once again overrun by Mexico soccer fans on Wednesday night, as El Tri completed a group stage sweep for the first time in their World Cup history. FOX 4's Amelia Jones was live at the scene.
DALLAS - The Mexico vs. Czechia watch party at FIFA Fan Festival Dallas was such a hot ticket that the free watch party completely sold out on Wednesday night.
FIFA Fan Festival Dallas sells out
Organizers have said that all advance tickets and $50 GA+ tickets have sold out for the day. A limited amount of $250 tickets are still available.
The event is free to the public, but festival organizers said in May the capacity for the event is 35,000 people.
Indeed, the crowd at FIFA Fan Fest looked the part on Wednesday night as they celebrated Mexico's 3-0 win over Czechia. It was the team's first ever sweep of the group stage in their World Cup history.
Dig deeper:
It's the second time in the last week that the free event has run out of tickets for a watch party.
Last Thursday, Dallas Police asked fans without a ticket to stay away from the Fair Park area due to an increase in traffic from fans there to watch Mexico beat South Korea 1-0.
The first day of FIFA Fan Festival Dallas also saw a Mexico match.
While not a complete sellout like their past two match days, the crowd of mostly Mexico fans were loud and proud supporting El Tri during their 2-0 win over South Africa.
What's next:
Mexico has already won Group A thanks to their wins over South Africa and South Korea.
They will play a 3rd place team from Group C, E, F, H, or I at Mexico City Stadium to begin the knockout round on June 30.
