The Mexican team has an interesting and long history.  You should keep reading to know and be a true Mexican soccer fan.

Mexican Football federation leads the Mexican national soccer team.  Most of the games are at their official stadium, called “Estadio Azteca”. This stadium is in Mexico City.   Through out the years we have been getting better, since 1994 the national team has qualified constantly for the World Cup. They have been to fourteen world cups.  From those fourteen we reached the quarterfinals twice.  Both times were staged on Mexican soil.

Mexico was the host of the 1970 World Cup. They managed to pull off a good organization and as mentioned they reached quarterfinals. This tournament made the Mexican have a true passion for soccer. Since this tournament was held by Mexico the watching percent of soccer in Central America went sky high.  Thanks to the positive outcome of the first World Cup in Mexico they were able to host a second one. In 1986 they hosted their second world cup. The team looked sharper than ever. Even though they haven´t had an international trophy, soccer in Mexico is steadily rising.

Mexico is known as the most successful national team in the CONCACAF region. The team is the only one of their region that has won an official FIFA recognized title. They have one FIFA Confederation Cup, nine CONCACAF championships, including six CONCACAF Golf Cups ,one North American Nation Cup and two NAFC Championship. Hopefully Mexico will be in the 2014 World Cup.
