Thu, June 4, 2026 at 1:22 a.m. UTCThe Mexican National Team is putting the finishing touches on its final warm-up match ahead of the 2026 World Cup .
El Tri will face Serbia at Nemesio Diez Stadium in Toluca, just eight days before the highly anticipated opening match against South Africa at the Azteca Stadium. Despite how close the official debut is, head coach Javier Aguirre surprised the media during the press conference ahead of the clash with the Europeans. When asked whether the system and the names taking the field in Toluca would form the core of the World Cup opener, “Vasco” flatly ruled out that possibility.
The national team manager explained that the decision is based strictly on the recommendations of his medical staff and fitness coaches. The top priority at Verde Valle is to manage the players’ workload in order to avoid last-minute injuries, ensuring that all 26 called-up players arrive in peak physical condition as they aim to improve on what was achieved at South Africa 2010.
