Social Sciences - History / History of cricket in Cuba
Spanish term or phrase: comisión de embullo
"El anfitrión de las actividades recreativas se encargaba de garantizar el hospedaje en los distintos hogares de los inmigrantes y descendientes de esa comunidad brindados en forma voluntaria a todo el personal que asistiera, llamados **comisión de embullo**, entre ellos matrimonios, familias, jóvenes de ambos sexos, solteros y adultos mayores, tanto jugadores como a los espectadores."

Could this be a hospitality committee of some kind?

Explanation:
Could this be a "Cuban" Spanish text? I have been looking for a translation and they seem to point out a cuban dialect. Here is an exerpt from the internet

"Comisión de embullo :Comisión o grupo organizador de cualquier actividad, una fiesta, una sorpresa, casi siempre integrada por gente entusiasta."
