Get Your USC Passport Stamp: Mexico
The road to the 2026 World Cup starts in Mexico!
Today, Mexico opens its World Cup campaign against South Africa in Mexico City, and we’re celebrating our neighbor to the south with a culinary tradition that has stood the test of time: Bacalao a la Vizcaína.
A beloved Mexican classic, Bacalao a la Vizcaína starts with salt-cured cod that is carefully rehydrated and simmered with tomatoes, onions, garlic, olives, capers, and peppers. The result is a savory, hearty dish layered with bright, briny flavors and enjoyed at family gatherings and holiday celebrations across Mexico. At the heart of it all is salt—the ingredient that made preserving cod possible and helped create a culinary tradition that has endured for generations.
As fans fill the stadium and millions more cheer from around the world, we’re proud to kick off our World Cup Passport journey with one of the tournament’s host nations. To all of our friends in Mexico, best of luck today! We’ll be cheering for a memorable opening match and a successful tournament ahead.
Collect your first stamp in the United Salt World Cup Passport and join us as we explore the global traditions powered by salt—one country at a time.
