In the 2026 FIFA 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup, Mexico, which belongs to the same group as the South Korean national soccer team, won a great victory against Iceland.

Mexico, led by head coach Javier Aguirre, won the warm-up match against Iceland in Queretaro, Mexico, on the 26th (Korea time), scoring two goals each in the first and second half. Mexico is ranked 16th and Iceland 74th in the FIFA rankings.

Mexico, which broke the balance with Ricciard Ledesma's first goal in the 22nd minute of the first half, won the game two minutes later with an additional goal from Armando González (Chivas).

Mexico ended the match in the 14th minute of the second half with an additional goal from Brian Gutierrez (Chivas) in extra time following Jesus Gallardo (Toluca).

On this day, Mexico overwhelmed its opponents, leading by as much as 24-4 in the number of shots in the spring with 57% possession. There were 11 effective shots towards the inside of the goal.

Mexico, which was not able to play overseas because it was not a FIFA A match period, had all 22 players playing in the Mexican professional football league MX.

Although some key European players are missing, many of the players who participated on the day are considered likely to participate in the 2026 FIFA 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup.

Mexico also formed a national team of domestic players last month, winning 1-0 in Panama, a World Cup finalist, and 1-0 in Bolivia.

Mexico will play a home and neutral (US) warm-up match against European powerhouses Portugal and Belgium next month during the FIFA A match period.

After playing three consecutive pre-World Cup warm-up matches with Ghana (home), Australia (USA), and Serbia (home) from May to June, they will then face the winners of South Africa, South Korea, and UEFA playoff pass D (Denmark, Czech Republic, Ireland, and North Macedonia) in Group A of the 2026 FIFA 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup finals.
