In the great dining room, everyone has come together for the holiday. One by one, they tell each other what they’re thankful for from the past year. But this isn’t an ordinary Thanksgiving dinner. This is in the dining room at Santos Laguna’s training compound at Territorio Santos Modelo, and it’s attended by players and staff alike.
Mexico doesn’t have a Thanksgiving holiday like the United States, but Santos celebrates it regardless. It is consistent with their values not only of creating a sense of community, but also helps some members of the team with assimilating to life in Torreón, which has strong ties to the United States.
