Mexico National Football Team

Mexico National Football Team

2014-06-20

The Mexico national football team represents Mexico in association football and is governed by the Mexican Federation of Association Football (FMF), the governing body for football in Mexico. Mexico's home stadium is the Estadio Azteca and their head coach is Miguel Herrera. The team is currently ranked 20th in the FIFA World Rankings and 16th in the World Football Elo Ratings.

Mexico has qualified to fifteen World Cups and has qualified consecutively since 1994, making it one of only six countries to do so. The Mexican national team, along with Brazil and Germany, are the only nations to make it out of the group stage over the last five World Cups. Mexico played France in the very first match of the first World Cup on 13 July 1930. Mexico's best progression was reaching the quarter-finals in both the 1970 and 1986 World Cups, both of which were staged on Mexican soil.

Mexico is historically the most successful national team in the CONCACAF region, as they are the only team from the region to win an official FIFA recognized title. They hold one FIFA Confederations Cup, nine CONCACAF championships, including six CONCACAF Gold Cups, one North American Nations Cup and three NAFC Championships. Mexico is one of only seven nations to have won at least two out of the three most prestigious international football tournaments (FIFA World Cup, FIFA Confederations Cup, Summer Olympics), winning the 1999 FIFA Confederations Cup and the Gold Medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics.

Although Mexico is under the jurisdiction of CONCACAF, the national football team has been regularly invited to compete in the Copa América since 1993 finishing as runner-up twice and obtaining the third place medal on three occasions.
