Mexico’s soccer faithful are grumbling after a string of stumbles— a humiliating 4-0 drubbing by Colombia, plus uninspired draws against Japan, South Korea, and Ecuador. Yet amid the groans, the Mexican Football Federation (FMF) is doubling down on coach Javier Aguirre, vowing unwavering support as El Tri gears up for the 2026 World Cup co-hosted on home turf.
FMF’s Vote of Confidence: ‘He’s Building Something Special’
FMF president Ivar Sisniega shut down any bench-bench chatter during a fiery presser, praising Aguirre’s knack for forging team spirit. “Javier’s instilled a killer vibe and the grit we demand from every player,” Sisniega declared. “We’re locked in on the vision. It’s a grind—give it time. He’s still molding the squad that’ll storm the Cup, and we’ve got crucial matches to tweak.”
The Basque boss, a grizzled vet who steered Mexico to the 2002 knockouts and Japan to Asia Cup glory, stepped in last year to steady a post-Miguel Herrera ship. Sisniega hailed him as the “glue guy”: “He’s sparked real unity in the locker room. Players buy in 100%. We’re on the upswing.”
That faith? Earned in part by snagging the Gold Cup crown this summer, a shiny trophy that quelled early doubters. Now, with 2026 looming—Mexico sharing hosting duties with the U.S. and Canada—the pressure’s on for a quarterfinals push, at minimum.

Eyes are also turning to the horizon. Sisniega teased blending in fresh blood from the electric 2023 U-20 World Cup crew, though most are earmarked for 2030 dreams. “That bunch oozes talent,” he grinned. “The core’s primed for the next cycle, but yeah—maybe a couple crash the senior party sooner.”
November Tune-Up: Uruguay and Paraguay in the Crosshairs
No rest for the weary: El Tri hits the pitch November 15 in Torreón against Uruguay, then tangles with Paraguay on the 18th at San Antonio’s Alamodome. Aguirre’s expected to roll out a near-final 2026 blueprint—think Edson Álvarez anchoring midfield, Hirving Lozano terrorizing wings, and Raúl Jiménez lurking up top.
Fans, simmer down. Sisniega’s mantra? Patience pays. With home-ice (er, pitch) advantage and a coach who’s danced this tango before, Mexico’s betting big on Aguirre’s alchemy to turn recent rust into World Cup gold.
