This  fútbol season Modelo is teaming up with renowned Mexican defenseman Edson “El Machín” Álvarez to introduce “La Bota Especial” – a one-of-a-kind golden beer mug crafted to the precise dimensions of Álvarez’s boot, which sparks magic on the pitch and causes stadiums to roar.

Known for his relentless fight and tenacity, Álvarez’s game perfectly embodies the mark of a fighter upon which Modelo was founded. While fans may not be able to lace up their own cleats on the biggest fútbol stages, a select few will celebrate through all the blood, sweat and beers of this summer’s matches with “La Bota Especial” by their side. The custom beer mug featuring Álvarez’s embossed signature promises to bring his unrelenting mark of a fighter to the drinking occasions of Modelo-loving fútbol fans as the Official Beer of the Beautiful Game.

“Fútbol is more than just a game; it’s a passion that unites millions around the world, which I’ve been lucky enough to experience first-hand,” said Álvarez. “I’m proud to partner with Modelo to give fans a new way to celebrate this summer with “La Bota Especial,” crafted in the shape of my very own boot. As fans gather to watch their favorite teams, they can enjoy Modelo from a mug that embodies the same level of passion and intensity as their fandom.”

Now through June 22, fans 21 years and older can enter for the chance to win their own “La Bota Especial” by visiting @ModeloUSA or Edson Álvarez’s Instagram account and commenting on one of the Sweepstakes posts with how they plan to cheer on Álvarez and enjoy the summer fútbol season.

“Our partnership with Álvarez is designed to ignite the unwavering dedication of fútbol fans and the spirit of the Beautiful Game,” said Logan Jensen, vice president of marketing, Modelo. “‘La Bota Especial’ is not just a beer mug; it’s a symbol of the passion, fight and excitement that fútbol brings to fans everywhere and that Modelo celebrates.”

In addition to unveiling “La Bota Especial” for fans, Álvarez will also be featured in promotional retail materials throughout the summer.
