Mexico's national soccer team is gearing up for its final group stage game in the World Cup against the Czech Republic. The team has already secured its spot in the Round of 16 as the top team in Group A, and now aims to finish the group stage with a perfect three wins out of three.

The team trained in a relaxed atmosphere at the Mexican Football Federation's High Performance Center in the capital. Coach Aguirre has the opportunity to give playing time to some players who have not yet participated in the tournament.

Veteran goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa, participating in his sixth World Cup at the age of 40, is expected to start. Midfielder Mateo Chávez and forward Guillermo Martínez are also potential starters. Additionally, defender César Montes, who missed the match against South Korea due to a red card in the first game against South Africa, will be available.
