Category 4: La Portada (The Cover) – Add Images
Help document Latino World Cup culture! Share photos of watch parties, jerseys, community fútbol (soccer), decorated neighborhoods, and real match-day moments. Look at some examples of acceptable photos.
La Mesa (The Spread)
Capture match-day food and drinks at watch parties—empanadas, pupusas, horchata, micheladas. Show the full scene with the TV, jerseys, and flags to tell the story of fútbol culture, not just a meal. Avoid heavily staged food photography.
La Camiseta (The Jersey)
Document team loyalty through jerseys, scarves, face paint, and homemade banners. Highlight mixed-team displays showing the diaspora story. Skip store product photos and focus on community context.
La Cancha (The Pitch)
This is our biggest need. Photograph community soccer leagues, pickup games in parks, youth soccer, and local fields where Latino communities play. Avoid professional matches.
El Barrio Mundialista (The Neighborhood)
Show how the World Cup transforms Latino neighborhoods—decorated sports bars, storefronts with flags, community centers with screens, street vendors. Include specific places with clear World Cup/fútbol presence.
La Porra (The Crowd)
Capture candid watch-party moments: reactions to goals, families gathered, intergenerational moments, outdoor viewing. Skip posed group photos—we want the real emotion.
