After decades of starring in World Cups, the Tricolor heads into the tournament as a true classic: a team that wants to dictate possession, press high, attack down the flanks and make the most of the link between its midfielders and a very mobile number 9.
On the other side, Uzbekistan represents the rising football of Central Asia: a tactically well-drilled unit, strong in one-on-one duels and lethal whenever it finds space to break forward. The team has yet to reach a World Cup finals stage, but has come very close in several AFC qualifying campaigns.
In a group stage, a clash like this can be worth half a ticket: if the Mexican side imposes its technical quality, it will control the tempo; if the Central Asian team wins the ball and launches quick breaks, the group could be blown wide open.
After the setback at Qatar 2022, when they went out in the group stage, the Mexican team arrives with the clear need to bounce back, relying on established stars such as Hirving Lozano, Edson Álvarez and Santiago Giménez.
Uzbekistan come into the tournament backed by years of progress in the Asian Cup and by the attacking leadership of Eldor Shomurodov, the standard-bearer of a generation now competing in Europe’s top leagues.
Don’t just settle for the highlights: secure your tickets and experience Mexico vs Uzbekistan live — a match that could shape the fate of the group from the very first whistle.
