Tonight, Mexico will host Portugal at the Estadio Azteca, now known as the Estadio Banorte, which has been newly renovated. The stadium reopens tonight and will host two teams that will feature in the 2026 World Cup.

Mexico is one of the host nations for the 2026 World Cup and will look to continue its winning form after three friendly matches over the last two months.

Mexico defeated Panama 1-0, defeated Bolivia 1-0, and defeated Iceland 4-0, but with a full team of players who play in Liga MX.

Last November, Mexico played against Uruguay and Paraguay. The match against Uruguay was a 0-0 draw, and the match against Paraguay finished in a 1-2 loss in the United States.

Portugal will play their first friendly match following their UEFA World Cup qualifiers. Portugal topped their group that consisted of Ireland, Hungary, and Armenia.

In their last World Cup qualifier, Portugal defeated Armenia 9-1 at home without Cristiano Ronaldo, who was suspended due to a red card against Ireland.
