Rob Schneider visits Nuevo León to show his support for Tigres
The Hollywood actor was on the field ahead of Tigres Liga MX Clausura 2023 clash against reigning champions Pachuca.
Hollywood actor Rob Schneider was the VIP guest of honour on Sunday night at the Estadio Universitario (aka El Volcan) ahead of 2023 Clausura matchday 2 clash as the side from Monterrey faced current champions Pachuca.
The Saturday Night Live actors’ interest for Tigres hails from his wife Patricia Maya Schneider who, despite hailing from Merida in the Yucatan is a Tigres fan with the actor marrying the Mexican model back in 2011.
Schneider is in Nuevo León this week on promotional duties for his Daddy Daughter Trip movie and was the guest of honour at the Liga MX clash where he greeted the packed stadium pre-game and spoke in English and ‘broken’ Spanish.
Schneider is becoming something of a talisman for ‘La U de Nuevo León’ with his last visit to the stadium in 2015 coinciding with Tigres beating Pumas to win the first leg of the Apertura title.
Tigres out of the blocks in spectacular form
Diego Cocca’s Tigres have started the new season in dazzling form opening the Clausura 2023 with a 3-0 victory over Santos Laguna and last night demolished current Apertura champions with a convincing 4-1 with the university side solitary leaders at the top of the Liga MX table with two wins from two games.
