Mexico's 2026 World Cup camp begins with unity and high spirits

The Mexican national team has kicked off its pre-World Cup camp for the 2026 tournament. Players gathered at the High-Performance Center on Wednesday evening, marking the official start of preparations. A social media post later showed the squad in high spirits, hinting at a more united atmosphere after earlier tensions. The camp began after the coaching staff set a strict deadline for players to arrive. Those already in Mexico reported on time, while overseas-based players will join later. Their arrival depends on the end of their club seasons and mandatory off-season breaks.

Training sessions will start on Thursday, focusing on building on-field chemistry. The team shared a photo on social media featuring all called-up players, including Toluca’s Alexis Vega and Chivas’ Roberto Alvarado. The image showed a relaxed and positive mood among the group. Earlier uncertainty and conflicts had raised concerns, but the current atmosphere appears more cohesive. Players and staff are now working together as the countdown to the 2026 World Cup continues.

The Mexican team has now entered its preparation phase with a clearer focus. Training sessions will run from Thursday, aiming to sharpen teamwork before the tournament. Overseas players will complete the squad once their club commitments end.
