Aguirre noted a unique unity and hope surrounding the current squad, comparing it favorably to previous World Cup campaigns he managed.

The match is scheduled for 6:00 PM local time (Central Mexico) and will be broadcast on multiple channels, including Las Estrellas, Canal 5, TUDN, Azteca 7, and ViX Pase Mundial. The team is currently concentrating at the CAR training center, preparing for what could be a historic advancement in the tournament.

More work in quantity, yes, but pressure always exists, even if it's a friendly in the United States or in Torreón. The National Team has pressure, and that helps you grow and be better.
