Mexico’s national soccer team is getting closer and closer to finding out its final opponent in the group stage of the 2026 World Cup. Following the results of the European playoff, Denmark and the Czech Republic will play the UEFA Route D final, the winner of which will join Group A alongside El Tri.
This scenario practically defines Mexico’s group, which has already confirmed South Africa and South Korea as its first two opponents in the World Cup.
Denmark and Czech Republic advance with authority
Denmark secured their place in the final after an emphatic 4-0 victory over North Macedonia in Copenhagen, showing a high level of attacking and collective strength.
For their part, the Czech Republic had to suffer more to advance, as they eliminated the Republic of Ireland in a dramatic penalty shootout, in a much closer and more closely contested match.
Both teams will be looking for the last available ticket on this European route to the 2026 World Cup, which will define the final outlook for Mexico’s group.
When will El Tri’s opponent be announced?
The final match between Denmark and the Czech Republic will be played on March 31.
On that day, the Mexican National Soccer Team will officially know who will be its third opponent in the group stage of the 2026 World Cup.
For Hispanic fans in the United States, this information is key, as it will allow them to anticipate one of El Tri’s most attractive matches in North America.
