Mexico eyes historic third win against Czech Republic in World Cup 2026

The Mexican national team is looking to make history in the 2026 World Cup by securing a third group stage victory against the Czech Republic. Having already qualified for the knockout stage, El Tri aims to achieve an unprecedented feat in their World Cup history: winning all three group matches.

Mexico has already broken a long-standing winless streak in opening matches and secured a victory outside Mexico City in this tournament. Now, they aim to extend their unbeaten run at the Estadio Ciudad de México, a venue where they have never lost a World Cup game. The Czech Republic, meanwhile, is playing for their own qualification, adding an extra layer of intensity to the match.

Several players who have not yet seen minutes in the tournament might get an opportunity against the Czech Republic. Coach Jaime Lozano could potentially field players like Guillermo Martínez, Mateo Chávez, Guillermo Ochoa, and Carlos Acevedo, offering them a chance to contribute before the knockout rounds begin.

The match will be officiated by Argentinian referee Yael Falcón Pérez. Mexico's previous group stage wins were against South Africa (2-0) and South Korea (1-0). The team is determined to capitalize on their strong performance and momentum as they head into the crucial phase of the tournament.
