Centenario, the Official Tequila of the Mexican National Team, is calling on fans to be part of Memos for Mexico,” a fan-powered movement turning the Mexican folk song “Cielito Lindo” into an anthem for the summer of fútbol.

As the unofficial heartbeat of Mexican identity, “Cielito Lindo” has come to life in many ways; from mariachi performances to packed stadiums around the world, and it has been a symbol of Mexican culture for generations. Now, Centenario Tequila is giving the song a fresh take, built from the voices of fans themselves, reimagined to ignite the stadium stands and fuel the Mexican National Team this summer.

To bring this to life, the brand is joining forces with Mexican goalkeeper and Mexican National Team captain Guillermo “Memo” Ochoa. “Memos for Mexico” won’t just create a remix; it will be a tribute to Mexican heritage, inviting fans to submit their voice notes and videos which will be transformed into a high-energy remix that captures the sound of nuestra cultura.

“There’s nothing like hearing ‘Cielito Lindo’ take over a stadium, when that ‘Ay, ay, ay, ay’ hits, you feel it in your chest,” said Memo Ochoa. “That’s the kind of feeling we share with Centenario Tequila. Now imagine that energy, built from fans everywhere. I can’t wait to hear it, see it, and feel it come to life.”

Every bottle of Gran Centenario is rooted in tradition and a family-owned legacy spanning nearly 170 years. Crafted with passion and Mexico’s #1 tequila, it is made with 100% Blue Weber agave using generations of expertise and the signature Selección Suave process.

Smooth, rich, and versatile, it is the tequila chosen by those who know it best and trusted as the number one choice for Mexicans. “Memos for Mexico” carries that same spirit forward. Just like the raw energy of the fans singing together in the stands, each submission becomes part of something bigger: a collective expression of identity and puro orgullo mexicano.
