Mexico at the FIFA World Cup 2026

Mexico is a federal republic bridging North and Central America, Spanish‑speaking with strong Indigenous cultures, Mexico City built on the high central plateau as its capital, and an economy among the world’s largest emerging markets.

Mexico have never lifted the trophy, but their best run is as World Cup quarter-finalists (1970, 1986) across 17 World Cup appearances. At the World Cup, Luis Hernández and Chicharito feature prominently in the scoring charts for Mexico with 4 goals each. All-time, Javier Hernández leads Mexico's senior men's scoring list with 52 goals.

For FIFA World Cup 2026, Mexico co-host the tournament on North America soil while also competing in Group A, with home support across multiple venues and CONCACAF rivals such as South Africa, South Korea and Czechia.

Mexico co-host their third World Cup and bring passionate Estadio Azteca tradition plus deep CONCACAF roots. El Tri's green kit and historic quarter-final runs in 1970 and 1986 anchor the nation's football identity.
