Colombian reggaeton superstar J Balvin poses with San Diego FC's Christopher McVey, Tomas Angel, and Pablo Sisniega

Following his energetic performance at Pechanga Arena as part of his 2025 North American tour, J Balvin welcomed San Diego FC stars Christopher McVey, Tomas Angel, and Pablo Sisniega backstage. The trio posed with the reggaeton superstar and even presented him with a personalized San Diego FC jersey featuring his name and the number 25. Balvin, a known soccer fan, spent time discussing both music and soccer with the players.

San Diego FC have actively sought to establish cultural relevance within Southern California's diverse community since joining MLS as an expansion team in 2025. The club's outreach to global entertainment figures like J Balvin reflects the broader strategy of modern sports franchises to build fan connections through music, fashion, and cultural touchpoints beyond the pitch.

J Balvin will continue his North American tour with upcoming stops in Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Houston. San Diego FC, on the other hand, return to action with a match against St. Louis CITY SC. They currently sit fourth on the Western Conference table with 17 points after 11 league games, thanks to a recent 5-0 win over FC Dallas.
