From the table to the display case.

The Foosball Collection Table brings Betirri’s handcrafted football figures to life on a vintage foosball table, while individual figures are presented in clear collector boxes; turning the beautiful game into collectible art.

Each piece combines football, sculpture, design, and Houston’s World Cup legacy, created to be enjoyed as both a game and a work of art.

Available for collectors, companies, and football lovers looking to bring a unique piece of the collection into their space: betirri.bigcartel.com

Collect the game. Display the art. Keep the story alive.

Every World Cup has marked a milestone in my journey as an artist. With each exhibition, I add a star to my emblem, a visual record of the places, people, and memories that have shaped my career.

After 2026 in Houston, the fourth star is now officially part of the story.

Watching it come to life, embroidered into a jersey, is a reminder that the journey is bigger than any single tournament.

Four World Cups. Four stars. One continuous journey.

And the story continues… 🌎⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Looking back at my Road to 2026... what an incredible journey it has been.

Over the past two years, football became more than a game; it became a way to connect people through art, culture, and community.

Some of the milestones along the way:

• Monday Night Futbol (1950–2022 World Cups) with trivia, films, and cultural conversations.
• The Beautiful Game exhibition and artist open call at HCC.
• MFAH Hands & Feet Workshops with Asians Against Domestic Abuse and Madres del Parque.
• The East End Gateway Mural, created at Magpies & Peacocks and now welcoming the world on Harrisburg Blvd.
• Managing Houston's Seven Cultural District World Cup Murals.
• The POST Houston X Atrium installation and One Game. Many Cultures exhibition at L'Alliance Française de Houston.
• Launching The Foosball Collection, the Houston 2026 Collection, and other World Cup-inspired merchandise.
• A 365 World Cup Balls workshop at River Oaks Baptist School.
• Being named Latino Man of the Year by the Galveston Mardi Gras Committee and later honored as a Heart of the Cup Honoree by the Houston 2026 World Cup.

None of this would have been possible without the incredible organizations, collaborators, collectors, volunteers, students, and friends who believed in this vision.

The World Cup may be over, but its cultural legacy and the friendships created along the way, will continue to inspire everything that comes next.

Beyond 2026, the journey continues, and I invite anyone interested in collaborating, collecting, or creating to be part of what comes next.

Thank you, Houston. ❤️⚽🌎

Hay conexiones que solo el tiempo permite descubrir.

Tengo el privilegio de presentar mi serie Title Sponsors en la Torre de los Vientos, la emblemática obra del artista uruguayo Gonzalo Fonseca, uno de los legados más importantes de la Ruta de la Amistad de México 68.

Hoy, al leer este artículo, no puedo evitar reflexionar sobre cómo el arte público y el deporte tienen la capacidad de trascender generaciones.

Fonseca representó a Uruguay con una obra que sigue inspirando décadas después. El exponer mi trabajo dentro de ese espacio le da un significado aún más profundo a mi camino como artista.

Después de vivir la experiencia de crear un legado artístico para el Mundial de Houston 2026, mi mente comienza a dirigirse hacia un nuevo horizonte: el Centenario de la Copa Mundial de la FIFA en 2030, donde Uruguay volverá a ocupar un lugar histórico como el país que vio nacer el torneo.

Sería un honor continuar ese diálogo entre arte y fútbol, conectando el legado de Fonseca, la historia de Uruguay y mi propia visión de utilizar el arte como un puente entre culturas.

Porque los mundiales terminan, pero el arte tiene la capacidad de mantener viva su memoria para siempre.

⚽🇺🇾🎨

Hay obras de arte que nunca dejan de transformarse. La Torre de los Vientos, creada por Gonzalo Fonseca para la Ruta de la Amistad de México 68, es una de ellas. Concebida como la única escultura habitable de América, ha encontrado en el arte contemporáneo una forma de mantener vivo su legado. Hoy, la exposición 'Title Sponsors' del artista Betirri establece un diálogo entre el futbol, los valores que lo atraviesan y uno de los espacios más singulares del patrimonio artístico mexicano. En nuestro nuevo artículo exploramos la historia de este extraordinario recinto y el compromiso que, desde hace más de una década, compartimos con el Patronato Ruta de la Amistad para contribuir a la preservación y activación de este legado.

One of the greatest gifts of this World Cup wasn't just creating the pennants; it was meeting the incredible people they brought into my life.

Every conversation, photo, and shared story reminded me that football is a universal language capable of connecting complete strangers through art.

These moments are the true legacy of the project, and I'll carry them with me long after the final whistle.

Thank you to everyone who stopped, shared a smile, and became part of this journey. The pennants are still up at Atrium X for one more week. Go to the POST Houston Instagram account to enter the raffle and win your favorite pennants.
