The Mexican National Team, led by Javier Aguirre, begins its final preparation for the 2026 World Cup this Thursday (7:00 PM) by visiting Panama at the Rommel Fernández Stadium. Since it is not a FIFA Date, "El Vasco" will take the opportunity to exclusively evaluate players from the Liga MX, seeking pieces to complement the European base.

The hostile environment requested by Aguirre will be the litmus test for players like Armando "Hormiga" González, who is competing for the third forward spot, and the versatile Richard Ledezma. Another focus will be on Diego Lainez, who arrives in great form with Tigres and seeks to secure his spot on the final list by making an impact on the right wing.

Mexico arrives with a 13-year unbeaten streak against the Panamanians. Although El Tri is favored with a 60% chance of victory, the main goal will be to forge the character of the local players before the big World Cup event.
