History of the Mexico national team
Founding and Early Years
The Mexico national team, nicknamed "El Tri," is governed by the Mexican Football Federation (FMF), founded in 1927. A historic power in the CONCACAF region, it has established itself as the most successful nation in Gold Cup history, with ten titles.
Team Evolution
The Estadio Azteca in Mexico City has hosted two World Cup finals (1970 and 1986), and in 2026 becomes the first stadium in history to host matches at three different editions.
Great Managers
Javier Aguirre led Mexico until 2026, guiding El Tri, co-hosts of the World Cup, to a perfect group stage before their Round of 16 exit. Rafael Márquez then succeeded him, having been the only player to captain his country at five World Cups.
Iconic Players
Hugo Sánchez, a legendary forward famed for his acrobatic overhead kicks, and Antonio Carbajal, the first player in history to play at five World Cups, defined the glorious early years of Mexican football. Javier "Chicharito" Hernández remains the country's all-time top scorer, while Rafael Márquez extended his influence by becoming the national team's head coach.
Major Achievements
Mexico have never won the World Cup, but hold the CONCACAF Gold Cup record with ten titles, most recently in 2025. They also won the FIFA Confederations Cup in 1999 on home soil, as well as the CONCACAF Nations League in 2025. As co-hosts of the 2026 World Cup, they enjoyed a perfect group stage (three wins) before losing to England (2-3) in the Round of 16.
The Team Today
Under Rafael Márquez, Mexico are entering a new era buoyed by the momentum of their home World Cup, and rank among the top nations in the CONCACAF region in the FIFA World Ranking.
