Our Journey: From Vision to Reality
In 2007, our founder Pepe Galván took his first steps into the soccer business world as an intern with Major League Soccer (MLS) and Soccer United Marketing (SUM). What began as an internship quickly turned into a full immersion in the industry, managing Sueño MLS by 2010—an ambitious, nationally televised player search for future stars of Major League Soccer.

By 2011, 6PM Sports was officially born, originally known as PepeGol. With MLS and SUM as our first clients, we were entrusted as MLS Global Consultants for the Player Personnel Department. This initial success laid the foundation for years of growth and learning, establishing our reputation in the world of soccer operations.

In 2014, we expanded our horizons by managing Team Mexico for MexTour. A decade later, we are still actively supporting this major event, cementing our role in the soccer landscape. In 2019, we took on a new challenge, partnering with Leagues Cup to elevate soccer operations and deliver exceptional services to clubs, a collaboration that continues to this day.

In November 2023, as part of our growth strategy, Valeria Romero assumed the role of CEO, bringing strategic leadership to further elevate 6PM Sports. Her direction has been pivotal in driving operational excellence and expanding our footprint in the soccer industry.

What began with a single game over 13 years ago has now evolved into managing more than 50 games a year. Today, we take pride in delivering top-tier services to our clients—ranging from organizing Pre-Seasons for MLS clubs in Mexico to handling operations for teams in international tournaments like the CONCACAF Champions Cup, Leagues Cup 2024, MexTour 2024, and beyond.
