Mikel Arriola, the commissioner of the Mexican Football Federation (FMF) and president of Liga MX, was seen attending the 60th edition of the Super Bowl at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California. This appearance follows the conclusion of Liga MX's matchday 5, which had no scheduled games for the following day. ESPN shared a video capturing Arriola navigating the venue alongside another individual, dressed casually in denim jeans, a black sweater, and sunglasses, but he did not provide any comments regarding the NFL game at the time.

The attendance of FMF's commissioner at such a significant event in American sports, particularly following the recent football activities in Mexico, suggests a strategic interest in bridging football and American football audiences. The Super Bowl is not only a major sporting event but also a cultural phenomenon in the United States, and Arriola's visible presence there may symbolize growing ties and interest between the sports cultures of the two nations.

As Liga MX concluded its fixtures, including America’s victory over Monterrey, the timing of Arriola’s attendance raises questions about the integration of Mexican football personalities in international events, showcasing the crossover appeal of sports leaders who engage in broader discussions about sport and entertainment across borders.
