The tricolor stands as the most successful national team in the history of the global tournament, consistently chasing another triumph on the horizon.
The golden cup is poised to add a fresh chapter, and the Mexican squad will work to silence critics. Joined by coach Diego Cocca, the aim is to secure a prestigious title in 2023 in the United States. Across the border, there is also a strong belief that Team USA could clinch a second consecutive championship, a scenario El Tri hopes to prevent.
The cup remains the trophy most associated with the green, white, and red national team. Mexico has participated since 1963, back when the event carried a different name, the Concacaf Cup, later evolving into its current designation in 1991.
Given this long-standing participation, Mexico ranks at the top for several historical metrics: most points, most goals scored at 155, the highest number of wins at 48, the most matches played at 68, and the fewest losses at 9 with the best goal concession record at 41. These figures reflect a long track record of consistency and competitive excellence in the tournament’s history.
