The Mexico national team is back in action with two friendly matches vs. Japan and South Korea during the September international break.
After years of turmoil and poor results, 2025 has been a positive year for El Tri. Winners of this year’s Concacaf Nations League and Gold Gup, Mexico has regained its status as the region’s powerhouse. Javier Aguirre’s arrival has stabilized a rudderless ship, but the biggest test will come next summer.
The final stage of Mexico’s preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup it will co-host begins with this in this September camp. “El Vasco” admitted he already had over half of the World Cup roster set in stone following the Gold Cup. It’s now time for fringe players to impress and earn the remaining spots.
The squad traveling for the upcoming matches is very similar to the one that led Mexico to Gold Cup glory. However, there are also new additions that haven’t featured recently but still have a very realistic chance of making the World Cup squad.
Here’s three players to watch for Mexico during September’s international action.
