Soccer fans are in for a treat as the Federación Mexicana de Fútbol (FMF) and Soccer United Marketing (SUM) have officially announced that the highly anticipated MexTour W will feature two thrilling matches between Mexico and Jamaica in April 2025. Mark your calendars for these key dates as the Mexican Women’s National Team, “El Tri Femenil,” will face off against the formidable Jamaican Women’s National Team, known as the “Reggae Girlz,” in Kansas City and Houston.
The first match is set to ignite the brand-new CPKC Stadium in Kansas City on Saturday, April 5, at 4:30 p.m. local time. This game marks a historic moment as the first-ever international national team match to be held at this state-of-the-art venue. CPKC Stadium, which opened in 2024, holds the distinction of being the world’s first stadium purpose-built for a women’s professional team. With a capacity of 11,500, this modern arena, home to the Kansas City Current of the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL), is poised to deliver an unforgettable atmosphere for this international clash. Adding to its prestige, CPKC Stadium previously hosted the NWSL Championship match last November and is preparing to host the NCAA Women’s College Cup in 2025, solidifying its place as a premier venue for women’s soccer.
Just a few days later, the excitement moves to Texas, as Houston’s Shell Energy Stadium will host the second leg of this Mexico Jamaica showdown on Tuesday, April 8, at 7:30 p.m. local time. Shell Energy Stadium, a well-established soccer venue opened in 2012 with a capacity exceeding 20,000, is home to both the Houston Dash of the NWSL and the Houston Dynamo of Major League Soccer (MLS). Houston is no stranger to MexTour W, having hosted a successful match in 2023 where Mexico triumphed over the Houston Dash with a resounding 5-1 victory.
These two matches against Jamaica are crucial for the Mexican Women’s National Team as they prepare for the rigorous qualification tournament for the 2027 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Olympics. Under the guidance of Head Coach Pedro Lopez, the team is focused on strengthening their squad and fine-tuning their strategies. Key players to watch for “El Tri Femenil” include the commanding center back and captain Rebeca Bernal from CF Monterrey, the dynamic San Diego Wave star winger María Sanchez, and the talented Houston Dash forward Diana Ordóñez.
Jamaica’s “Reggae Girlz” are equally determined, led by Head Coach Hubert Busby Jr. and their iconic captain Khadija Monifa “Bunny” Shaw. Shaw, a prolific forward for Manchester City, holds the record as the all-time leading scorer for both club and country and is the most capped player in Jamaican women’s national team history. The last time Mexico and Jamaica faced off was in the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile, where Mexico secured a victory, setting the stage for another competitive encounter in these upcoming MexTour W matches.
Beyond the thrill of competition, MexTour W serves a vital purpose: to elevate women’s soccer and inspire the next generation. These games provide a prominent platform for talented athletes from both the Mexican and Jamaican teams, showcasing their skills and dedication to aspiring young players. MexTour W aims to fuel a movement, encouraging youth to engage with soccer, be inspired by these role models, and feel empowered through the sport.
