Mexico World Cup Soccer 2026 tickets World Cup 2026 Tickets

Mexico has qualified for 17 FIFA World Cups, making them one of the most consistent national teams in the tournament's history. El Tri has reached the quarter-finals twice (1970 and 1986), both times as hosts. Despite this consistency, Mexico has faced the infamous "quinto partido" (fifth game) curse, being eliminated in the Round of 16 in seven consecutive World Cups from 1994 to 2018.

Mexico boasts passionate fan support and a rich football culture. They've produced legendary players like Hugo Sanchez, Rafael Marquez, and Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez. The team consistently dominates CONCACAF competition and is known for their technical skill and attacking flair.

Missing the 2022 World Cup qualification was a shocking disappointment, but as co-hosts in 2026, El Tri gets an automatic entry and a chance to break their knockout round curse on home soil.

As co-hosts of the 2026 World Cup, Mexico has an incredible opportunity to finally break their Round of 16 curse and reach the elusive "quinto partido" (quarter-finals). Playing at iconic Estadio Azteca and other Mexican venues with the passionate home support of millions, El Tri has never had a better chance.

The pressure will be immense, but so will the motivation. Mexico's golden generation is aging, making 2026 potentially the last chance for this group to achieve World Cup glory. Can they finally deliver for their devoted fans and make history on home soil?
