Mexico continues its preparations for the 2026 World Cup on Thursday when hosting Serbia in its final pre-tournament friendly.
The co-hosts kick off the World Cup on June 11 when facing South Africa and Javier Aguirre is determined to ensure his side are in the ideal physical and mental state for such a significant clash.
Fortunately for El Tri, form has been positive ahead of the tournament, victories claimed in friendlies with fellow World Cup participants Ghana and Australia. Winning both encounters without conceding means Mexico are currently seven unbeaten, only failing to beat Portugal and Belgium in that run.
Serbia will prove tough opposition for Aguirre’s men, despite their absence from the World Cup. Their 3–0 loss at Cabo Verde last time out was admittedly poor, but the Europeans still boast some powerful weapons in their arsenal.
Here is how to tune into Mexico’s final warm-up match.
