The World Cup is set to get underway in less than two weeks, and Mexico has been on a strong run in the lead-up to the tournament.
Mexico will be one of three hosts of games during the tournament, and needless to say their squad has been playing at a high level as the World Cup gets ready to begin on June 11.
That run continued on Saturday when they notched a 1-0 win over Australia, with Johan Vázquez knocking home a header in the 28th minute to secure the clean sheet for the squad.
Mexico has won five of their seven international friendlies so far in 2026 and has drawn the other two, surrendering just one goal during those games. Brian Gutíerrez has scored a pair of goals in those contests, including one against Ghana in a 2-0 victory last week.
In addition to beating Ghana and Australia, both of whom are in the World Cup, the Mexican squad has also beaten Panama in 2026, with shutout wins over Iceland and Bolivia to their credit.
They’ll wrap up their friendly schedule on Thursday They have one more game before the World Cup, a friendly against Serbia on Thursday at 9 p.m. Central time. The game will be played in Toluca.
Mexico will open their 2026 World Cup against South Africa on Thursday, June 11 when they face South Africa.
They’ll play the Republic of Korea and Czechia to wrap up group play.
Those games will all air on Telemundo Chicago.
