Mexico
Mexico arrive at the 2026 tournament not just as one of three co-hosts but as the country with the deepest fixture history in the competition — 17 appearances and seven consecutive quarter-final exits. Javier Aguirre returns for a third spell as manager, charged with breaking the curse on home soil. Edson Álvarez anchors a midfield rebuilt around the Premier League, while Santiago Giménez carries the goal-scoring responsibility after his move to AC Milan. Raúl Jiménez supplies the experience. Group A pits El Tri against South Korea, Czechia and South Africa — winnable on paper, but the opening match in Mexico City under altitude and pressure will define the campaign.
