Mexico has solidified its dominance in Concacaf with an impressive record. The Mexican national team is looking to transfer these successes to the major leagues. The Mexican U-20 team won the glory last night. The team led by Alex Diego crowned itself in the Concacaf Championship of the category with a crushing victory over the United States. The 'Tri' was totally dominant during the competition, 6 wins, 17 goals in favor, and only one against are a reflection of the power that the national team demonstrated in the tournament. However, this is not an isolated case; historically, Mexico has been the top winner in Concacaf. With the victory last night, Mexico adds its 15th title in this tournament, the second consecutive in the last years. With this new cup, the country increases its advantage as the top winner of the tournament; its closest pursuer is the same American team, which has three titles in its record. However, not everything had been rosy in this period. The 'Tri' had suffered a streak that lasted almost a decade: after winning the tournament in 2015, Mexico was nine years without being able to lift the trophy, a negative streak that has finally been left behind to consolidate a new dynasty in the region. This dominance is not limited to the U-20 category. At the U-17 level, the story is repeated with more force: the Mexican national team is also the top winner in the Concacaf U-17 Championship, accumulating 10 championships. The last one was in 2023. However, it is worth noting that this tournament has taken a drastic turn. Since 2025, the format of classification for the U-17 World Cup has changed; no longer will a separate tournament be organized, but rather a phase of eight groups where 40 teams will compete for their ticket, which will only be awarded to the best teams in each division. If both counts are added, the Aztec football boasts an unbeatable record of 24 regional youth titles, leaving far behind its closest pursuers, the United States and Costa Rica, and reaffirming itself as the true power of Norteamérica, Centroamérica, and the Caribbean. The attempts to transfer this crushing regional dominance to the international scene have been one of the main puzzles in the history of the national team. Fortunately, over the years, Mexico has turned these classifications into highly relevant performances in the youth World Cups: the historic sub-championship of the world in the U-20 category achieved in Colombia 2011, in addition to the unforgettable U-17 world championships conquered in Peru 2005 and Mexico 2011.
