As October approaches, football leagues worldwide will pause for the FIFA international break in 2024. This period sees national teams gather their players for crucial qualifying matches, and in some cases, international friendlies. For the Mexican National Team, this upcoming FIFA date in October 2024 means home games and the opportunity to play in front of their fans. These matches are highly anticipated by fans wanting to know, “when does Mexico play in 2024?”
Why Mexico is Playing Valencia CF in a FIFA Friendly
Instead of World Cup qualifiers, which many nations will be engaged in, Mexico is set to play a friendly match against Valencia CF from Spain. This is due to Mexico’s automatic qualification for the next World Cup as one of the host nations. With no pressing qualifying fixtures, the Mexican Football Federation (FMF) has taken the initiative to arrange matches against internationally recognized clubs like Valencia to keep “El Tri” sharp and provide exciting matchups for fans during FIFA dates.
