Mexico's National Soccer Team Disbands After World Cup Elimination

Mexico's national soccer team players have disbanded and left their High Performance Center training facility following their elimination from the 2026 World Cup. The team's campaign ended after a round of 16 loss to England.

The players had been in concentration for two months at the CAR, beginning May 6 with hopes of achieving the country's best World Cup performance. Their journey concluded with disappointment for millions of Mexicans who had anticipated a quarter-final appearance.

Following the defeat in Mexico City, players began departing the CAR in the early hours of the morning. Javier Aguirre's final match as coach of 'El Tri' was the loss to England. Rafael Márquez is reportedly set to take the reins of the team, though an official announcement is pending.

During their two-month stay, the players had described themselves as a "family," emphasizing the strong bond and positive atmosphere within the squad, which they claimed was evident on the field. After 61 days, the players have now dispersed to rejoin their respective clubs, with approximately two weeks of vacation ahead.
