El Tri will take on Australia, South Africa and South Korea in the group stage!
Mexico are one of the co-hosts for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. They will be looking to use the conditions to their advantage. They have now unveiled the final 26-man contingent that will battle it out for the mega prize.
The Javier Aguirre-led side are coming in after securing a 1-0 win against Australia in an international friendly contest. From maintaining possession of the ball and putting pressure in the final third, El Tri performed better. They still somewhat need to work on their attack, which looked a bit weak.
The Mexico national football team are going to take on Serbia for their final friendly contest before setting foot on the grandest stage of them all. They are placed in Group A for the mega competition and will be looking to build some momentum with a win in their remaining friendly.
El Tri will lock horns with Australia, South Africa and South Korea in the group stage. It is not going to be an easy run for them, but they will be coming in with a strong fight.
Stars like the veteran goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa and Fulham’s Raul Jimenez have been called up to represent Mexico at the FIFA World Cup 2026.
