Mexico National Team manager Javier Aguirre recently discussed his preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup during an interview with Mauricio Ymay and Juan Pablo sorín.

He noted his previous encounters with diverse opposition,having faced European teams seven times,South American sides three times,one Asian nation,and one African team across five World Cup appearances (including three prior to this cycle).
Despite the potential for a challenging draw, Aguirre expressed a remarkably relaxed attitude toward the specific opponents Mexico will face. “It doesn’t matter exactly to me what rivals we have,” Aguirre stated, adding with evident enthusiasm, “We are very excited. It fills me a lot, and let’s hope that everything turns out well for us.”
The manager’s comments suggest a focus on planning and team cohesion rather than fixating on the perceived strength of the opposition. This approach could prove beneficial as Mexico aims to advance from Group A and make a deep run in the tournament, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and mexico.
The emergence of players like Gilberto Mora adds another layer of optimism to Aguirre’s plans. The manager indicated that Mora has made a positive impression during evaluations, potentially positioning him for a role in the final squad.
