On Saturday, May 23, 2026, DRAFTED, the first media brand built around Latina sports fans, will host SZN XI, LA’s first Fashion × Fútbol Experience,  at The Revery beginning at 12:00 p.m. Be sure to rep your favorite team jersey and come ready to celebrate the intersection of fashion, fútbol and culture.

Every detail of the event is curated to mirror the authentic game-day rituals of female fans and their culture. With the World Cup coming to the U.S. next month, the moment is only getting bigger for Latina fans to be highlighted and appreciated.

DRAFTED, which is the first brand built to spotlight Latinas in sports culture, was founded in 2023 by Karina Martinez and Jennifer Yepez Blundell. The organization was born from a simple truth that Latina fans have always been a driving force in sports culture, yet their influence has long been overlooked. With complementary backgrounds and a shared vision, their brand treats Latina culture as a defining force in sports.

Every ticket includes a Savage X Fenty jersey, and in partnership with Verizon, five lucky fans will receive pitchside access to official FIFA 2026 matches in Los Angeles. The experience will also feature live music set up by DJ @que.madre, curated brand goodie bags, a custom jersey bar, hair braiding station and more immersive surprises throughout the event.

DRAFTED wants to expand their brand to other cities beyond LA.
