With the support of the Presidency’s Directorate of Communications, the “Turkish Vibe Zone” event and experience venue has been launched in Los Angeles under the slogan “Türkiye is Here” as part of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Located within Gloria Molina Grand Park and spanning 3,050 square metres, the venue will host various activities aimed at promoting Türkiye, including live screenings of matches featuring the Turkish National Football Team and media engagement activities, through 26 June.
Drawing significant attention on its opening day, the “Turkish Vibe Zone” attracted not only Turkish visitors but also supporters from other countries in the region. Mexican fans, in particular, showed strong interest in the venue, where FIFA World Cup matches were broadcast live throughout the day.
The “Turkish Vibe Zone” features a giant screen for live match broadcasts, a content studio for producing various media content, a photo booth open to visitors, a gastronomy area offering Turkish cuisine, protocol hospitality facilities, an interview area, a press centre to facilitate media integration, and brand experience zones hosting sponsor stands. The venue will also host concerts and appearances by famous people.
The press centre established within the venue will serve as the main point of contact and coordination for press members assigned from Türkiye to cover the tournament. Media professionals will also be able to conduct interviews and filming activities at the site.
İsmail Demirezen, Religious Services Attaché in Los Angeles, stated that it was a source of great pride to showcase Turkish culture in the heart of Los Angeles and to introduce it to both Muslim and non-Muslim communities.
Turkish supporters visiting the “Turkish Vibe Zone” also expressed their satisfaction with the atmosphere, noting that the venue made them feel as though they were in Türkiye.
The match between the Turkish National Football Team and Paraguay in San Francisco will be screened live on the venue's giant screen in Los Angeles. The “Turkish Vibe Zone” will welcome visitors through 26 June.
