The Mexico national team is seeking its opponent in the Round of 16 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The team led by Javier Aguirre still does not know its opponent.
Who can be Mexico's opponent?
Scotland and Ecuador are the only options for Mexico. With a Spain victory over Uruguay, Mexico's options would be reduced to Scotland and Ecuador.
Why wouldn't Mexico play the worst third-place team?
FIFA determined that Mexico can face the third-place team from groups C, E, F, H, or I. This arrangement implies that the priority is Group C, whose third-place team is Scotland.
