Marco Vinicio Galarza Villanueva

Hi! My name is Marco Galarza, and I’m passionate about football and my hometown, Monterrey. I was born and raised in Monterrey, and for many years I’ve had the privilege of attending Estadio BBVA almost every weekend to support my team, Rayados de Monterrey. This experience has allowed me to get to know not only the stadium, but also the best places and local spots to enjoy the pre- and post-match atmosphere, as well as everything that makes experiencing football in this city so special. I also had the opportunity to volunteer at the FIFA World Cup 2026 in Monterrey. It was an incredible experience that allowed me to meet people from different parts of the world. I love welcoming visitors, sharing my city, and making people who come to Monterrey feel comfortable and welcome. I really enjoy meeting new people, especially when I travel and have the opportunity to discover a city through the eyes of its local residents. I believe this is one of the best ways to truly experience a place—not only by visiting its tourist attractions, but by understanding how its people live, why certain traditions exist, and the stories behind each place. That’s why I’d like to offer visitors to Monterrey an experience that goes beyond simply attending a football match. I want them to feel like locals for a day, while discovering my city, sharing stories, culture, food, and all those little details that you won’t always find in tourist guides, but that can make an experience truly special. I know Monterrey, I love football, and above all, I love being a host. I believe I can give visitors the confidence of having someone by their side, while offering them the opportunity to discover my city from a local and authentic perspective.
