Czech Republic meet Mexico in a group stage Group A tie at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. The Czech Republic return to the World Cup after missing 2010, 2014, 2018 and 2022, marking their first appearance since 2006. As Czechoslovakia the nation reached two finals. Midfielder Tomáš Souček anchors a disciplined, hard-working squad.
Mexico arrive with their own ambitions. Mexico are perennial World Cup participants and co-hosts in 2026, having appeared at every tournament since 1994. They have reached the round of 16 seven consecutive times but never advanced beyond the quarter-finals. As hosts they will aim to finally break their last-16 ceiling.
