The Mexican national team welcomes Ghana for an international friendly on Friday evening as the final push toward the 2026 World Cup gets underway.
El Tri's World Cup preparation camp began two weeks ago, with players gradually joining the squad to train under Javier Aguirre's guidance. The friendly against Ghana gives players a chance to cement starting positions, while others will look to make a strong impression on Aguirre ahead of his final 26-man squad announcement.
The match carries somewhat reduced stakes given that Ghana is arriving on Mexican soil with a roster comprised largely of U-23 players and domestic talents, without its top stars who remain active in European competitions. Nevertheless, new head coach Carlos Queiroz will be eager to begin his reign with a victory.
Anticipation surrounding Mexico's third home World Cup is building, particularly after El Tri earned draws against European heavyweights Portugal and Belgium in their two most recent outings.
Friendly or not, Mexico will be expected to claim victory over a depleted Ghana side. All attention will be focused on Aguirre's choices — both in terms of personnel and the tactical systems he has managed to implement during two weeks of camp.
Here's how viewers can catch Mexico vs. Ghana on Friday night.
