Mexico
The heartbeat of CONCACAF football. Mexico are the most successful nation in the region, with 10 Gold Cup titles and a passionate fanbase that follows El Tri across the globe. As co-hosts of the 2026 World Cup, Mexico reached the round of 16 in front of their own fans.
History
Mexico have qualified for every World Cup since 1994 and famously reached the Round of 16 in seven consecutive tournaments — a streak known as the Quinto Partido curse, as they never progressed past that stage. Their best World Cup performances came as hosts in 1970 and 1986, reaching the quarter-finals on both occasions.
Mexico are the dominant force in CONCACAF, winning 10 Gold Cup titles and consistently producing talented players who go on to star in Europe's top leagues. As co-hosts in 2026 El Tri beat Ecuador in the round of 32 before a 3-2 defeat to England in the round of 16, so the wait for a quinto partido goes on.
Kit History & Colours
Green, white, and red — the colours of the Mexican flag worn with enormous national pride. Mexico's iconic green home shirt is one of the most recognisable in CONCACAF football, and their Adidas kits have produced some of the most celebrated designs in international football over the decades.
El Tri's shirts are among the most popular international jerseys in North America, and the green of Mexico is a colour that carries the passion and pride of one of football's most devoted fanbases.
