These matches will serve as a prelude to Mexico's debut in the Gold Cup 2025, which is part of the Tri's route to the 2026 World Cup, alongside the Nations League.
Regarding Mexico's path to the 2026 World Cup, as the host country, it does not participate in qualifiers, so friendly matches become a crucial factor for its preparation. Due to the lack of matches against teams in World Cup qualifiers, Mexico has sought to face high-caliber opponents to elevate its level.
After overcoming Honduras in the quarterfinals of the Nations League, Mexico has secured its ticket to the semifinals, where it will face Canada. This time, Switzerland and Turkey will be the challenges for the Tricolor team. The match against Switzerland is scheduled for March 20 at SoFi Stadium.
Mexico's recent friendly matches have raised doubts, as they have not been able to compete against teams in World Cup qualifiers; they have faced clubs such as Valencia, which they drew with, and Internacional from Brazil, whom they defeated, and River Plate, against whom they lost. Despite the difficulties, Mexico seeks to face heavyweight rivals for its preparation.
