Peso Pluma Celebrates Mexico’s World Cup Victory at Adidas Watch Party

Peso Pluma wasn’t going to let Mexico’s win in its first match of the 2026 World Cup go uncelebrated. On Thursday (June 11), the artist known as La Doble P joined soccer fans at the Adidas 2026 World Cup Opening Watch Party at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, where he headlined a massive show.

Before taking the stage, the Jalisco native sat down with Billboard to discuss Mexico’s 3-0 victory against South Africa earlier that day, his enthusiasm for the team, and his recent success on the charts. The artist described himself as euphoric and expressed pride in wearing the national jersey while watching the match.

“Mexicans are the most bada—, man,” said Peso Pluma. When asked what he wished for the team as it prepares to face South Korea in its next match on June 18, he replied, “May God bless them and may they give it their all, so that this time we’re in that final game. And we’re going to be supporting from the outside, as it should be.”

High Hopes for the World Cup

The Grammy winner admitted that he has high hopes for his country’s team during this tournament. “Well, I’m really happy because we debuted on the right foot. Mexico’s going to win. Mexico has to win. Attract it — the law of attraction — Mexico’s going to win,” he said.

Reflecting on ‘Dinastía’

Beyond the soccer pitch, the artist weighed in on the current success of his song “Daño,” from his 2026 album, Dinastía, which peaked at No. 5 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs and is currently sitting at No. 9.

“We are very happy, because it’s a song we all really like from the album,” Pluma said. “It’s a song from Dinastía that stood out. The fans in Mexico really liked it and also here in the United States. And it’s a song that throughout the whole tour, fans cried and sang and yelled the lyrics to, and that fills our soul.”
