Mexico’s Meteoric Rise in Socca

As Mexico prepares to host the 2025 TUI Socca World Championship in Cancun, the journey that brought them here is nothing short of remarkable. From their first breakthroughs to continental triumphs, the Mexicans have risen rapidly to become one of the sport’s leading nations. Ranked fourth in the world, they now stand among the giants of socca.

2019 – First Major Impact

Mexico’s early steps on the global stage came at the 2019 World Cup in Crete. It was there that they made a strong impression, advancing all the way to the quarter-finals. For a team still finding its identity, reaching the last eight was a statement that Mexico had the potential to compete with the best.

2023 – A Breakthrough in Essen

The 2023 World Cup in Essen, Germany, marked Mexico’s real breakthrough. Playing with confidence and flair, they stormed into the semi-finals and eventually secured third place — their best finish at a World Cup so far. It was the moment Mexico established itself as a true world power in socca.

2024 – Resilience and Continental Glory

In 2024, the Mexicans once again proved their consistency. At the World Cup in Oman, they advanced from the group stage and fought hard to reach the quarter-finals. While they fell short of the semis, their campaign reinforced their reputation as a team that belongs among the world’s elite. Later that year, they dominated the Socca Americup, lifting the trophy and confirming their supremacy in the Americas.

2025 – Back-to-Back Champions and Hosts of the World

This year, Mexico defended their Americup crown in Rio de Janeiro, remaining undefeated and defeating Brazil 2–1 in the final. It was another powerful statement of intent from a team that has been building momentum year after year. Now, with the TUI Socca World Championship arriving in the Americas for the very first time, Mexico will not only welcome the world to Cancun but also chase the ultimate dream: lifting the trophy on home soil, in front of their own passionate fans.
