📄 Summary
Mexico national football team Emblem
The Mexico national football team (Spanish: Selección de fútbol de México) represents Mexico in men's international football and is governed by the Federación Mexicana de Fútbol (English: Mexican Football Federation). It has been a member of FIFA since 1929 and competes as a member of CONCACAF since 1961, of which it was one of the founding members.

From 1946 to 1961, it was a member of NAFC, which was a predecessor confederation of CONCACAF and the governing body of football in North America in that period, and was also a member of PFC, the attempt at a unified confederation of the Americas.

Mexico has qualified to seventeen World Cups and has qualified consecutively since 1994, making it one of six countries to do so. Mexico played France in the first match of the first World Cup on 13 July 1930. Mexico's best progression in World Cups has been reaching the quarterfinals in both the 1970 and 1986 World Cups, both times as host, and will play host for the third time in 2026.

Mexico is historically the most successful national team in its confederation, winning 14 CONCACAF continental titles, which are 12 CONCACAF Championship/CONCACAF Gold Cup titles, 1 CONCACAF Nations League and 1 CONCACAF Cup. It also won the NAFC Championship twice, one North American Nations Cup and two gold medals of the Central American and Caribbean Games. It is one of eight national teams to have won two of the three most important worldwide football competitions that are recognized and endorsed by FIFA (World Cup, Confederations Cup, and Olympic football tournament), having won the 1999 FIFA Confederations Cup and the 2012 Olympic football tournament. Mexico is the only team from CONCACAF and also the only non-European or South American team to have won an official worldwide FIFA competition for senior national teams, after winning the 1999 FIFA Confederations Cup at home. Although Mexico is under the jurisdiction of CONCACAF, the national team was invited since 1993 to participate in the Copa América, which is CONMEBOL's main continental competition, finishing runners-up twice (1993 and 2001), and obtaining third place in three editions.
