In this edition, the Charro teams of Jalisco (Mexico), Indians of Mayagüez (Puerto Rico), lions of the chosen one (Dominican Republic), Cardinals de Lara (Venezuela) and the special guest, Japan Breeze (Japan) participate.
The teams will compete in a elimination phase all against all, from Friday to Monday, followed by the semifinals, a game for third place and the grand final, which will be held on February 7.
During the Homily of Mass, Mons. Enrique Sánchez Martínez, bishop of the Diocese of Mexicali, called on unity, remembering the message of the Virgin of Guadalupe.
The bishop stressed that, despite the current challenges, such as “atheist influence, or against God, against Jesus, against the Virgin,” said the Mother of God “remains for us a message of unity, communion. He continues to teach that we can overcome the differences between us, and that we can build peace and harmony. ”
Mons. Sánchez Martínez said that the Virgin “has accompanied us and helped us to safeguard the most important thing we have, that they are our lives, our people.”
Finally, the prelate pointed out that, in “a fragmented society, in crisis as we live, we are all called to work for unity and we are invited to overcome the differences that hurt and saddened us.”
