DALLAS, TX (Thursday, August 14, 2025) – MexTour organizers today announced that Grammy Award–winning ranchera-pop star Ana Bárbara will headline the annual MexTour Live concert, presented by Gillette, on Wednesday, October 8, at the AT&T Performing Arts Center in downtown Dallas. Tickets will be available starting Monday, August 18, 2025 @ 10 a.m. CT at www.SomosLocales.com.
The Ana Bárbara performance will launch a four-day celebration of fan and media events leading up to the annual MexTour match in the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex on Saturday, October 11, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, presented by AT&T. This year’s marquee showdown will be a possible preview of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, featuring two Top 15 FIFA-ranked national teams - Mexico (13th) versus Colombia (14th). The match falls during the October FIFA international window, ensuring both teams will field full-strength squads, as only a few game windows remain for national teams to prepare ahead of next year’s big tournament.
The week’s festivities will also feature the conclusion of Copa Kin 2025, the Mexican National Team’s annual reading competition held across multiple school districts in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. In partnership with the Dallas Sports Commission, the program rewards students with match tickets and other prizes for their reading achievements. Since its launch six years ago, participating students have logged more than 30 million minutes of reading time.
MexTour Dallas is presented in partnership with the Federación Mexicana de Futbol (FMF), Soccer United Marketing (SUM), and local partners the Dallas Cowboys, FC Dallas, and the Dallas Sports Commission.
