Summary
- Rafael Márquez debuts as Mexico's manager against Colombia.

- The match occurs on September 26th in Baltimore.
The 2030 World Cup cycle commences with Rafael Márquez taking the helm as Mexico's new manager. His debut match is against Colombia on Saturday night, September 26th, at Baltimore's M&T Bank Stadium. This marks a significant transition for El Tri, aiming to capitalize on the positive energy from their performance in the 2026 World Cup.
Colombia presents a formidable challenge, having defeated Mexico 4-0 in their last encounter. Despite an early World Cup exit, Colombia's coach Nestór Lorenzo maintains his position, and the team boasts considerable talent. Mexico's recent record against Colombia is poor, with four consecutive losses since 2010.
Following this inaugural match, Mexico will engage in three more friendlies against Peru, the USMNT, and Chile. Colombia is scheduled to play Paraguay and Peru in their upcoming fall international fixtures.
