Iker didn’t have the 2,000 pesos the official Tri jersey costs. So he grabbed Cheetos and Doritos bags, carefully cut out the logos, and glued them onto a green long-sleeve shirt he already had: the Tri crest on the left, the World Cup logo on the right. His mom recorded everything and uploaded it to TikTok. In a matter of days, millions of people saw it. 🫶
The Mexican National Team saw the video and replied in the comments: “Where can we send his jersey? Everyone on this boat! #SomosMéxico”. It wasn’t an empty gesture. The official account tracked him down, put together a package, and sent it to him: an official green jersey, a themed ball, and a commemorative cup.
When Iker opened the package, he put on the jersey right away. The National Team later posted: “The best part of this video is seeing Iker’s smile”. Now fans are asking for him to be invited to one of the 2026 World Cup matches. 🇲🇽✨
