Santos Laguna president Aleco Irarragorri has personally invited an anonymous fan to experience the team's next match from the executive box. The offer comes after the supporter's emotional reaction, crying upon seeing the team secure its third consecutive win in the Apertura 2026.

The positive run, the first since the Clausura 2024, has restored hope among the Guerreros faithful. It started with a 2-1 win over FC Juárez in Matchday 7, continued with a comeback 3-2 victory at Toluca's Nemesio Diez stadium, and was cemented with a tight 1-0 win against Pachuca on September 27. Those nine points from a possible nine have taken the team's total to 10 points, placing them 16th in the standings.

The president's invitation

Irarragorri saw the fan's video, recorded outside Estadio TSM, on social media and decided to act. "You are invited to travel with the team to San Luis and back," the president said. "I want to see that victory with you in the executive box. Please help me find him". The president is searching for the supporter, whose identity is unknown, to be his special guest for the Matchday 11 clash against Atlético San Luis at the Alfonso Lastras stadium.

The moment captured the feeling of a fanbase that had watched the team start the tournament without a win until the seventh round. In his interview, the fan stated the team's improvement sparked an emotion he rarely feels and even predicted the Guerreros would become champions.
