The Mexico roster: Players to watch
Manager Javier Aguirre returns for his third World Cup at the helm of El Tri. Raúl Jiménez (Fulham) leads the line as Mexico's most reliable striker, with Santiago Giménez (AC Milan) providing the young goal-scoring threat fans have been waiting on. Edson Álvarez (Fenerbahçe) anchors the midfield as captain and defensive shield. Hirving "Chucky" Lozano (PSV Eindhoven) brings pace and creativity on the wing, while Luis Chávez is one of the most dangerous set-piece takers in the tournament thanks to his thunderous left foot. César Montes anchors the back line, and Guillermo Ochoa (AEL Limassol) — still the heartbeat of the squad — could feature in his sixth career World Cup, an all-time record.
The Mexico storyline: Back to the Round of 16 — and beyond
Mexico reached the Round of 16 in seven consecutive World Cups (1994–2018) before crashing out at the group stage in Qatar 2022 — the first time El Tri failed to make the knockout rounds in nearly three decades. The 2026 tournament is a chance to right that wrong, and the conditions could not be more favorable. Estadio Azteca, the most legendary venue in soccer history, hosts two of Mexico's three group matches. The crowd will be massive, hostile to opponents, and rabid in support of El Tri. With Group A drawn as one of the more navigable groups in the tournament, the real question isn't whether Mexico advances — it's whether this is the team that finally breaks the "quinto partido" curse and reaches the quarterfinals for the first time on home soil.
