Let me bring you back to my childhood in Spain during the early nineteen eighties…There was nothing better than sitting around the television surrounded by family and watching Fútbol. Everyone just seemed to be happier during this time and nothing else was as important as celebrating that moment with loved ones and cheering on our favorite teams. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that soccer is a huge sport in Spain and other Hispanic countries.
Now that I have my own family, sharing these time honored cultural traditions with our sons is very important to my husband and I. After all, they can’t know where they are going if they don’t know where they came from. As a result, getting together to honor our national pride and our love of fútbol as a family is pretty high on our list of priorities.
This past week, my sons have been spending a lot of time with my father, and their grandfather, watching the big fútbol game this Summer. It has really been a joy to see them laughing and screaming out “GOOOOOOOOOOL!” along with my Dad. I can tell that they are enjoying themselves as much as I used to when I was a young girl in Spain and I watched soccer with my grandfather and the rest of the family. As you can tell from my son’s jersey below, we root for my home country’s team!
Pampers is bringing Latino families and their babies together to honor these very important aspects of their lives: national pride and a love of fútbol. They have launched the “Mi Equipo, Mi Herencia” Virtual Stadium app and sweepstakes on the Pampers Latino Facebook page, to celebrate these integral parts of Latino life in an unforgettable way.
From May 22nd through July 15th, you can log on to the Pampers Latino Facebook page and participate in the “Mi Equipo, Mi Herencia” app and sweepstakes. By uploading and customizing photos of your little fan in the Pampers Virtual Stadium, you will be entered to win a year’s supply of Pampers and wipes!
I invite you and your baby to be part of a once in a lifetime opportunity. This is the perfect opportunity for you to impart your love of your country and your love of soccer to your own children. You will then be able to enjoy the game with them for years to come! All that and the chance of winning a year of FREE Pampers wipes and diapers sounds like a win-win situation to me!
Let’s Discuss: How do you celebrate your love of fútbol and national pride?

We have a game night and celebrate
We don’t follow soccer at all in our house, so I don’t have a clue what’s going on. When the Patriots play, though, we do it up right with all kinds of snacks!
We like to watch it together as a family. The world cup is one of our favorites. We like to dress up in our team colors. We are rooting for USA and Mexico.
We don’t really follow it as a family but I follow it on Facebook through my friends.
We have not been doing sports in our home. Since we moved to the West coast they are all on so early we are never home for them. I never thought about that for the time change.
I celebrate with my family I wear the shirt and prepare a delicious meal to watch the games our teams together!
That is really cute.I can not stand to think of any sports right now i have been watching too much soccer its driving me crazy lol.
we watch everytime the USA plays, my boys are huge fans and love to pretend they are in the world cup out in our back yard with their ball!
wearing our teams colors
Both my kids have been in soccer so we support it when they go out to play. As for country, hanging the flag with pride and supporting the local community!
I grew up in the Caribbean where it’s called football and it wasn’t until I came to the US I called it soccer. I watched the World Cup every 4 years with my family when I was younger and try to watch it with my kids now as well. I’m supporting Brazil all the way! btw, I just LOVE Pampers.
Awe, I love their virtual stadium. That is adorable!
that virtual stadium is cute. We aren’t very big sports fan here.
Being honest, we don’t celebrate. Never got into sports, but we do watch if at a friends house and they are.
Very cool promotion! I’m cooking up a Brazilian dish for dinner to get in the spirit!
That’s so fun that you can add your face in the hole and be a fan with the babies! Glad your son is having such a good time with soccer this year.
Being from Spain I can tell Worldcup was a biggie for ya! It was for me in Jamaica even though we only made it there once. I have gotten away from it now though
We celebrate by wearing team colors!
That looks like a really fun idea. I am sure the little ones will enjoy seeing their photographs.
I get together with friends an cheer on my team and enjoy some yummy snacks.
Looks like a cute way to celebrate the World Cup, I’m not a big fan of soccer/football though.
This is pretty neat, I must say! Although I haven’t watched one second of the World Cup 🙁
So cute! What a great way to celebrate the world cup – I hope you all have a wonderful time when you watch matches 🙂 x

We really enjoyed watching as a family this year and making foods from several countries that participated.
we gather everyone up to have a party and we make food from other countries and our own.
I don’t celebrate it but my husband like to have friends over to watch it.
My family and I make t-shirts and make tons of food. We then watch the game together.
We don’t really celebrate our love of football. We do watch it, and we celebrate a win by one of our teams (Tottenham for my husband, Man City for me). We hoot and yell and throw our hands up.
We celebrate by having friends and family over to watch the games, eating lots of good food and cheering loudly for Team USA!!

We have been watching all the games of the World cup give or take a few if we miss it we record it and we always have food and drinks when our team is playing “GO USA”!!!
We get together with friends and family, watch and eat good food.
We love to have everyone over, for cookouts and to watch the games and cheer for our favorite teams. We have a blast, so much fun!
We usually have people come over. We either have a cookout or order pizza. We eat and watch it and then sometimes we even play it.
We celebrate soccer together as a family while we enjoy great food and wearing our team colors.
For many years I would watch the games with my brother and sister. After my children were born, they also became great fans of sports. Now that they are grown, we have grandchildren enjoying the games too.
We watch others play soccer together as a family. We are waiting for the day that our daughter is old and mature enough to be apart of a team of her own.
We eat a lot of food and watch the games together!
I watch all of the games decked out in my team’s gear!
We have a game party where we invite friends and family over to watch the game and then have a cookout afterwards.
