Mexico Ready to Shine at Home

Mexico kicks off the 2026 World Cup on home soil at the iconic Estadio Azteca against South Africa, marking a historic moment as co-hosts alongside the US and Canada. El Tri enters the tournament in peak form, having recently won the Gold Cup and defeated top-tier teams like Ghana and Australia. With nearly a full, healthy roster—minus only Marcel Ruiz—the squad boasts a clear, confident starting XI. Led by captain Edson Álvarez in midfield and spearheaded by prolific striker Raúl Jiménez, Mexico’s lineup is packed with talent and momentum. The match also carries weight as a rematch of their 2010 World Cup opener, adding extra spice to a game where home fans are ready to roar them into the tournament’s spotlight.
