Mexico becomes the first country to host or co-host the men's World Cup three times, after 1970 and 1986. The opening match at Estadio Azteca on June 11 will be played in a stadium that has hosted two World Cup finals.
Mexico has reached the Round of 16 in seven consecutive World Cups (1994–2022) but has never advanced further. Fans call it the 'Quinto Partido' curse — the elusive fifth game.
Mexican fans are famous for the 'Olé, Olé' chant and elaborate face paint in national colors. The '¡Sí se puede!' ('Yes we can!') chant echoes through stadiums worldwide wherever El Tri plays.
