The English Football Association is studying the organization of a friendly match that brings together the England national team with its Mexican counterpart at Wembley Stadium during the coming period, according to media reports.
The England national team qualified for the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup, after defeating Mexico 3-2 in the round of 16 at the "Azteca" stadium in the Mexican capital.
According to what was mentioned by the British newspaper "Daily Mail", the fan atmosphere in the Mexican capital left a distinctive impression on the England national team delegation, which prompted officials to consider holding a friendly match that strengthens sports relations between the two teams.
German Thomas Tuchel, the coach of the England national team, expressed his great admiration for the atmosphere that accompanied the match against Mexico at Azteca Stadium, confirming that the fans of "El Tri" presented an exceptional image of football passion.
Tuchel pointed out that playing a match in one of the most famous stadiums in the world was an inspiring experience for his players, and contributed to giving them additional experience in dealing with noisy fan atmospheres, which he considered an important part of the team's preparations
For this reason, the English Football Association is studying sending an official invitation to the Mexico national team to play a friendly match at "Wembley" Stadium in London, as part of returning the visit after the great reception that the England delegation received in Mexico City.
The idea is not limited to the symbolic aspect, as the technical staff led by Tuchel seeks to increase the number of friendly matches against strong teams from outside the European continent, with the aim of giving players diverse experiences in facing different football schools.
The German coach believes that clashing with teams like Mexico will help England develop its technical and mental readiness.
