Mexico’s national team had an eventful 2023, particularly in the latter half of the year. Following their Gold Cup victory in the summer, their focus shifted to the Concacaf Nations League. They reached the final but were defeated 2-0 by the United States, though they did secure qualification for the 2024 Copa América.
Their journey in the Copa América was less memorable, experiencing an early group stage exit. This led to the departure of Jaime Lozano, with Javier Aguirre taking over as the Tri manager.
After a series of friendly matches, Aguirre successfully guided the team to the Concacaf Nations League semifinals, a key objective for 2025, which will commence with a friendly tour in South America. The question now is: Which players are in contention for the upcoming matches for the Mexican National Team? Here are the details.
