Mexico coach recalls Egypt match in 2026 World Cup
The Mexican national team is preparing to kick off the 2026 World Cup with a match against South Africa at the "Azteca" Stadium in Mexico City. However, coach Javier Aguirre has issued some warnings, highlighting the improved level of the opponent. He emphasized respecting South Africa and stated that he does not feel fear, despite recalling a painful memory from the past when he lost with Egypt's national team to South Africa in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations. Aguirre also expressed his belief that modern football no longer recognizes small nations, praising coach Hugo Bross's efforts. He clarified that South Africa is performing well and holds onto hope of restoring their place in the World Cup after missing out since 2010. Aguirre revealed his confidence in his players and hopes for a strong start to the tournament, although he has not yet finalized his squad. He also noted that Mexico’s failure to win the opening match of the World Cup serves as motivation to achieve a successful start.
