Soccer will always be a great excuse to come together, and when it’s about a World Cup, the experience becomes even more special.
On June 13, 2026, InfoTET Québec participated in the Intercultural Fan Zone for Temporary Foreign Workers (TFWs) in Saint-Alexandre, Quebec, an event organized by Droit à l’emploi, service L’ANCRE. This cultural and sports event brought together workers from different backgrounds around one shared passion: soccer.
Although the match broadcast featured Brazil and Morocco, most participants came from countries such as Guatemala, Mexico, and several other nations, creating a warm, inclusive, and enthusiastic intercultural atmosphere. The match ended in a 1–1 draw, giving participants the opportunity to share the excitement and energy of supporting both teams.
Throughout the evening, participants had the chance to connect, socialize, take part in games specially designed for them, and enjoy pizza in a festive atmosphere. These activities helped strengthen relationships among workers and create meaningful spaces for exchange and connection.
InfoTET de Immigrant Québec was present on site with a dedicated space to present the program and its services. On this occasion, Jonathan Buitrago, Regional Coordinator, introduced the InfoTET Québec program and distributed the information guide for temporary foreign workers. This document provides practical tools regarding TFWs’ rights and obligations, as well as essential information about the services and resources available throughout Quebec.
This gathering was also a valuable opportunity to raise awareness among workers about their rights and responsibilities, while strengthening their sense of belonging and integration within the community.
On behalf of InfoTET Québec, we would like to especially thank Karla Duenas, Chargée de projet at Droit à l’emploi, service L’ANCRE, for organizing this initiative and for her commitment to the well-being and integration of temporary foreign workers. Once again, sports proved to be a powerful bridge between cultures and communities.
