FIFA World Cup record

edit

Mexico participated in the inaugural edition of the World Cup in Uruguay, playing the first ever World Cup game against France. Mexico lost that game and was soon eliminated. In the next edition, Mexico failed to qualify after losing 4–2 to the United States in a one-off match just days before the actual tournament. Mexico would not appear again in the World Cup until 1950 and would not achieve its first win until 1962 against Czechoslovakia. The farthest Mexico has ever progressed is the quarter-finals, achieved twice on home soil in 1970 and 1986. Mexico was banned from the 1990 World Cup for using overage players in the qualifying round for the 1988 Olympic Games. Mexico has qualified to each World Cup since and has never failed to reach the knockout stages but has never gone beyond that. Mexico opened the 2010 FIFA World Cup against host nation South Africa for a record fifth time. Mexico had previously opened the World Cup in 1930 (losing to France), 1950 (losing to Brazil), 1958 (losing to Sweden), and 1970 (tying the Soviet Union).[1]

FIFA Confederations Cup record

Mexico first participated in the Confederations Cup in 1995, when the tournament was organized by Saudi Arabia and called the Confederations Winners Cup. Mexico finished third in its first participation, defeating Nigeria in a penalty shootout 5–4 for third place. Mexico would then go on to host and win the 1999 edition, defeating Brazil 4–3 in the final. In its most recent appearance in 2005, Mexico topped its group containing World champions Brazil, European champions Greece, and Asian champions Japan. However, Mexico would lose to Argentina in the semi-final 5–6 in a penalty shootout and then lose the third place playoff against hosts Germany 4–3 after extra time to finish fourth.

CONCACAF Championship record

edit

Mexico has been crowned champions of CONCACAF on eight different occasions. Up until 1991, the tournament was a round-robin tournament with various stages depending on the year. From 1973 to 1991, the tournament also served as the qualifying tournament for the FIFA World Cup held the following year. Mexico first won the tournament in 1965, finishing two points ahead of second place Guatemala. Mexico won again in 1971, again finishing two points ahead of second place. In 1973, the tournament doubled a qualification to the 1974 FIFA World Cup. Mexico would finish a disappointing third and didn't qualify. The next edition was held in Mexico for the first time. El Tricolor had little problems winning the tournament, winning 5 out of 5 games and qualified to the 1978 FIFA World Cup. In 1981, one of the greatest upsets in Mexican footballing history occurred when Mexico was denied a place in the World Cup by Honduras and El Salvador. Needing to win their final game against host nation Honduras, Mexico tied 0–0 and failed to reach the cup. The next two editions Mexico would not participate in, though due to highly contrasting reasons. After the announcement that Mexico would host the 1986 FIFA World Cup, Mexico didn't participate in the 1985 championship since it also served as qualification for the World Cup. At the next championship, Mexico was banned from all international competitions for using overage players in a qualifying round for the 1988 Olympic Games. Originally the punishment was only going to be applied to the Olympic team, but the penalty was applied to all Mexican sports teams. This also caused Mexico to miss the 1990 FIFA World Cup.

In 1991, the tournament was renamed as the CONCACAF Gold Cup. The tournament was reformatted to have a group stage followed by a knockout stage. Mexico finished third after losing to the United States in the semi-finals. Mexico co-hosted the next edition along with the United States. Mexico won the edition decisively, getting revenge on the United States in the final beating them 4–0. Mexico would win the next two tournaments, beating Brazil and the United States respectively. Mexico would suffer two successive quarter-final exits before winning again in 2003 on home soil, beating Brazil in the opening match and in the final by 1–0. Mexico suffered another quarter-final exit in 2005 using a squad made up of local players due to Mexico's participation in 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup the month before. In 2007, Mexico would reach the final only to lose 2–1 to the United States despite having a 1–0 advantage at half-time. In the most recent tournament, Mexico used a very youthful squad and reached the final. There Mexico would gain revenge on the United States by dismantling them 5–0, with all the goals coming in the second half.
