Miami’s Global Voice Blends Culture, Sport, and Community on the World Stage
When the world’s biggest clubs arrived in Miami for the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, fans were greeted by more than just electric football. They were welcomed by the unmistakable voice and vibrant energy of Anabel, Miami’s own lifestyle and sports host Ana Isabel Hume, who proudly served as the official in-stadium host for multiple matches at Hard Rock Stadium.
With an attendance ranging from 55,000 to 65,000 and millions more watching from around the globe, Anabel commanded the microphone with poise, precision, and personality, honoring each club’s history, engaging the fans, and delivering electrifying intros in both English and Spanish. From Real Madrid to Al Hilal, Boca Juniors to Benfica, and many more, she brought cultural context and heartfelt storytelling to every match, showing the world what happens when preparation, passion, and purpose collide.
Anabel’s performance on the pitch wasn’t just about hype, it was an extension of her hit Miami-based show “Where Culture Meets the Game,” where sports and identity intersect. “For me, it’s never just about announcing the players,” she shared. “It’s about honoring their roots, igniting the energy in the stadium, and connecting fans from different walks of life. Football has a unique power to unite people and that’s what my show is all about.”
“Where Culture Meets the Game” dives into the deeper stories behind athletes, clubs, and communities. Through interviews, on-the-ground features, and cultural storytelling, Anabel brings a fresh lens to the world of sports, rooted in her own journey as a journalist, bodybuilder, military advocate, and global citizen born in Madrid, now thriving in Miami.
The FIFA Club World Cup may have put her on the global stage, but Anabel’s heart remains here in the 305. As Director of Communications for the City of Miami Mayor and a long-standing supporter of civic and military causes, her passion for uplifting her community is ever-present.
As Miami continues to rise as the epicenter of international sports, fans can be sure of one thing: wherever the game goes, Anabel will be there—bringing culture with her.
