What is each team's World Cup story?

Mexico

Mexico are one of the tournament's ever-presents, at their 18th World Cup and co-hosts in 2026. Their finest runs both came at home: quarter-finals in 1970 and 1986, still the country's ceiling. They have never won the World Cup, and a deep run on home soil is the dream that drives them.

Ecuador

Ecuador are at their fifth World Cup, a relative newcomer to the stage. Their best finish is the Round of 16 in 2006, and they have never gone further. Beating Mexico would put them in the last 16 and level with that 2006 high. See the full squads and fixtures on the Mexico and Ecuador team pages.
