Mexico seeks elusive win in Panama after 25 years

Mexico's national team embarks on a pivotal year with an away friendly against Panama on Thursday, January 22nd. This match, part of Javier Aguirre's strategy to prepare for the 2026 World Cup, will feature a roster exclusively from Mexico's domestic league, Liga MX.

El Tri faces a daunting statistic: they have not defeated Panama at the Estadio Rommel Fernández since the year 2000. This long winless streak extends to six games across all competitions, a run they are determined to end. With Panama also fielding an alternative squad, the game presents a prime opportunity for emerging players to demonstrate their capabilities to the coaching staff.

The team's journey continues after the Panama clash with another friendly against Bolivia on Sunday, January 25th. Following these initial matches, El Tri will host Iceland on February 25th before facing formidable European opponents, Portugal and Belgium, during the March international window.
