Born and raised in the US by an Argentinian father and Peruvian mother, keeping up with fútbol games was a top priority and hard to do at the time. Then the pastime became a family affair, with all the members of the family now partaking in the traditions and superstitions that involve cheering on Argentina during a World Cup. In this episode, Andrew talks about growing up in a Latino household, living in Argentina for the first time after college, his close relationship with his family, and how fútbol was there for him through all of it.

ABOUT THE HOSTS: Luciana and Claudia Valdiviezo know what it’s like to move to the U.S. – twice. They were born in Peru and lived there for only a few years until their parents moved the family to the U.S. The sisters kept in touch with their roots, speaking Spanish at home and every Christmas when they visited Peru for the holidays. Then, when they were 12 and 11 respectively, the family moved back to Peru. Growing up both Peruvian and American during those formative years gave Luciana and Claudia a deep understanding of what it means to belong, and not belong, at the same time. The sisters eventually moved back to the U.S. Luciana is a marketing professional living in Washington D.C. with her husband and two young children. Claudia is a writer living in New York City. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/where-we-land-7072443/episodes/f-tbol-family-and-argentina-with-andrew-deluca/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/where-we-land-7072443/f-tbol-family-and-argentina-with-andrew-deluca.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
