São Paulo Opens the 2027 International Championships
The hub page for the 2027 Latin America International Championships is live, and it comes with the two things competitors actually want to know: what the swag looks like and when registration opens. The short version: Salamence is the face of this one, and you'll want your calendar marked for late September.
November 20 to 22 at Distrito Anhembi
The tournament runs November 20 through 22 at the Centro de Convenções - Distrito Anhembi in São Paulo, Brazil. It's the first of three International Championships this season.
Salamence Fronts the Welcome Kit
The competitor welcome kit features Salamence, and it runs through almost every piece: the playmat, the sleeves, the deck box, and the pin all carry the same roaring Salamence artwork, while the cap wears the Latin America International Championships crest.
The kit itself includes a cap, playmat, card sleeves, deck box, pin, and a stamped Poké Tablet promo printed in Brazilian Portuguese. Event-stamped promos in a local language are always a fun piece for collectors, and this one wears the host country on the card itself.
Exclusive Mats for the Top 8 and Champions
Beyond the welcome kit, players who make the Top 8 will receive an exclusive playmat, with Champions getting their own as well.
Registration Opens September 22
Registration for both spectators and competitors opens September 22 at 3:00 PM PDT. If you miss that window, there's a second registration period for competitors on September 23 at 5:00 AM PDT. If you're planning to play or just want to be in the building, those are the two moments that matter.
