The Mexican Women’s U-20 National Team begins its participation in the 2026 World Cup in Poland on September 5 against Benin.
Located in Group A along with Poland and Argentina, the team led by Doriva Bueno aims to surpass the quarter-finals, showcasing the talent and dynamism of their generation. After the first 45 minutes, Mexico is ahead on the scoreboard, although the author of the goal, Alice Soto, left the match due to injury during stoppage time.
Mexico exerts strong dominance in the match, with Montse Saldívar close to scoring the second goal. The goal difference is crucial, considering Poland has already defeated Argentina 3-0 and will face Mexico soon. The first goal came in the 21st minute through Alice Soto, who broke through the Benin defense. Despite both teams keeping a clean slate at the beginning of the match, the Mexicans controlled the ball for most of the time.
This match represents a milestone for the Mexican team, which seeks its first victory against an African opponent in the history of the U-20 World Cups. With an attacking trio formed by Saldívar, Soto, and Noemí Villalobos, the Tri hopes to achieve its first win. The team plays in its green jersey, which incorporates indigenous elements and a special patch for the tournament.
Both teams are already on the field, as the national anthems play, marking the beginning of their journey in the U-20 Women’s World Cup.
Historically, the Mexican National Team has had challenging encounters against African teams, and the squad aims to change this trend in the 2026 World Cup.
