More Than Beaches: Sports, Community, and Mazatlán FC

Mazatlán is known for its golden beaches, rich culture, and vibrant lifestyle — but for those who enjoy the energy and connection that sports bring, Mazatlán FC offers a unique way to experience the city’s spirit. As the city’s professional soccer team in Mexico’s top league (Liga MX), Mazatlán FC adds excitement, pride, and a strong sense of community to life on the coast.

Founded in 2020, Mazatlán FC may be one of the youngest teams in the league, but it has quickly built a loyal fanbase and a growing reputation. The team plays at El Kraken, a modern 25,000-seat stadium located just minutes from the beach. The venue is more than a sports arena — it's a hub of social connection, local culture, and weekly entertainment.

For retirees looking for a new adventure, attending a soccer match at El Kraken can become a favorite pastime. The games are lively, family-friendly events filled with music, local food, and cheering fans of all ages. Whether you're a lifelong sports fan or just looking to enjoy something new, Mazatlán FC games offer an authentic way to connect with the community and feel part of the city’s heartbeat.

The presence of a professional soccer team also reflects Mazatlán’s growing status as a modern, connected city — investing in recreation, infrastructure, and civic pride. Alongside the beloved Venados baseball team and the new world-class aquarium, Mazatlán FC is part of the city’s transformation into one of Mexico’s most attractive destinations for those seeking a fulfilling and active retirement.

Whether you're walking the malecón by day or joining fans under the stadium lights at night, Mazatlán offers more than just a beautiful place to live — it offers a lifestyle full of color, joy, and unforgettable moments.
