🥊 Dream big: the super visit Mexico received | OneFootball

Just days before the start of the 2026 World Cup, the Mexican National Team received a pure dose of motivation at its training camp at the High Performance Center. Julio César Chávez, the greatest legend in Mexican boxing, visited El Tri to pass on the spirit of a true champion and fill them with confidence ahead of the opening match.

Presentation of belts and words of glory

Accompanied by Mauricio Sulaimán, president of the World Boxing Council (WBC), the former fighter gifted the team two iconic championship belts. Beyond the gift itself, what truly made an impact on the players coached by Javier Aguirre was Chávez’s powerful message, urging them to break free from the ghosts of the past and their historical hang-ups.

“I hear a lot about ‘reaching the fifth match,’ but I truly believe you’re going to go much further. You’re going to face very difficult challenges, and believe me, I’ve faced them too,” the Mexican icon said.

The key to success in the corner

The former fighter stressed the importance of discipline and of trusting the coaching staff completely in the face of the adversity the World Cup will bring. “Listen to your coach, because he’s in your corner and he’ll be the one to help you move forward. It doesn’t matter if your opponent is faster, stronger, or more agile than you. Don’t give up and dream big,” he declared.
