The launch of “Xoli” adds to the federal government’s technological efforts to turn the 2026 World Cup into an engine of development for the entire country.
The Government of Mexico City has launched Xoli, a chatbot that will provide information on services, tourism, and cultural offerings. It’s available now via WhatsApp in both English and Spanish.
The platform was designed to meet the demand of the millions of visitors expected to arrive during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. However, the authorities assure that the tool will remain active once the sporting event is over, to promote economic activities and facilitate access to public services in the capital.
In a press conference, Clara Brugada, head of the Mexico City government, stated that Xoli “will be the technological instrument that will allow us to link culture, tourism, recreation, and entertainment with the population.”
The tool was developed entirely by the capital’s government, as a result of the collaboration between the Digital Agency for Public Innovation and the local Ministries of Tourism and Culture.
