Mexico World Cup 2026 Squad, Fixtures and Group
Mexico are in Group A with South Africa, Korea Republic, Czechia, Ecuador and England. Javier Aguirre leads the squad planning for these fixtures. They are #15 in the FIFA Men's World Ranking, close enough to be judged against the stronger teams in the field. FIFA history records list 17 previous World Cup appearances, so tournament experience matters here.
Raul Jimenez, Guillermo Ochoa and Orbelin Pineda give the list some familiar starting points for the active tournament roster. Mexico list 7 defenders, 8 midfielders and 8 attackers, with attacking depth the deepest area at first glance. Each group match will ask for a different balance of defending, midfield control and finishing.
Mexico open against South Africa on Jun 11, 2026 at Mexico City Stadium in Mexico City. 2 listed venues across Mexico City and Guadalajara give fans a clear map of the group stage. The 26-player list is the squad base, with injuries, registration changes and matchday availability still worth checking.
