It competes as a member of CONCACAF, which encompasses the countries of North and Central America, and the Caribbean. The team plays its home games at the Estadio Azteca. Mexico has qualified to sixteen World Cups and has qualified consecutively since 1994, making it one of six countries to do so. The Mexico national team, along with Brazil are the only two nations to make it out of the group stage over the last seven World Cups. Along with Germany, Brazil, Italy, Argentina, France, Spain and Uruguay, Mexico is one of eight nations to have won two of the three most important football tournaments ( the World Cup, Confederations Cup, and Summer Olympics ), having won the 1999 FIFA Confederations Cup and the 2012 Summer Olympics. Mexico played France in the very first match of the first World Cup on 13 July 1930. Mexico 's best progression in World Cups has been reaching the quarter - finals in both the 1970 and 1986 World Cups, both of which were staged on Mexican soil. Mexico is historically the most successful national team in the CONCACAF region, having won ten confederation titles, including seven CONCACAF Gold Cups and three CONCACAF Championships ( the precursor to the Gold Cup ), as well as three NAFC Championships, one North American Nations Cup, and one CONCACAF Cup. Mexico is the only team from CONCACAF to have won an official FIFA competition, winning the 1999 FIFA Confederations Cup. Although Mexico is under the jurisdiction of CONCACAF, the national team has been regularly invited to compete in the Copa América since 1993, finishing runner - up twice -- in 1993 and 2001 -- and obtaining the third - place medal on three occasions.

Mexico 's first match was played against Guatemala, which Mexico won 3 -- 2. A series of international friendlies were played against the national representation of Guatemala on 9, 12 and 16 December 1923. The match on 9 December was played in Parque España which Mexico won 2 -- 1. On 12 December, the match ended in a 2 -- 0 win for Mexico, and the final game of the series ended in a 3 -- 3 draw. The manager for this team was Rafael Garza Gutiérrez. It would be another four years before the national team would be represented in international friendlies.

However, goalkeeper Antonio Carbajal has the distinction of being the first player ever to appear in five consecutive World Cups. In 1965, Mexico won the 1965 CONCACAF Championship to become continental champions for the first time. In 1970, Mexico hosted the World Cup and kicked off their campaign with a scoreless draw against the Soviet Union. This was followed by a 4 -- 0 win over El Salvador.

Kit supplier Period Contract date Contract duration Value Notes Adidas 2007 -- present Rivalries Main article : Mexico -- United States soccer rivalry Mexico and the United States are widely considered as the two major powers of CONCACAF. Matches between the two nations often attract much media attention, public interest and comment in both countries. Although the first match was played in 1934, their rivalry was not considered major until the 1980s, when the teams began to frequently compete in CONCACAF cups. On 15 August 2012, the United States defeated Mexico at Estadio Azteca in the first victory for the U.S. against Mexico on Mexican soil in 75 years. Ever since their first meeting in 1934, the two teams have met 67 times, with Mexico leading the overall series 34 -- 18 -- 15 ( W -- L -- D ), outscoring the U.S. 138 -- 79. However, since the 1990s, the tide began to change due to a rapid growth of soccer in the United States. During this decade, Mexico continued to hold an edge over their arch - rivals but since the 2000s the series has favored the U.S. 13 -- 7 -- 6 ( W -- L -- D ). Media coverage All of Mexico 's matches are shown live on over-the - air networks Televisa and TV Azteca in Mexico. In the United States all of Mexico 's international friendlies and home World Cup qualifiers are shown on Spanish language network Univision while away World Cup qualifiers are shown on Telemundo. On 30 January 2013, English language network ESPN and Univision announced an agreement to telecast the Mexico national team home World Cup qualifiers and international friendly matches in English in the United States. Supporters Mexico 's fans at 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia Mexico 's fans are infamously known for the chant `` ¡ eeeh puto !, '' which is typically screamed when an opponent 's goalkeeper is about to perform a goalkick. Due to the homophobic meaning of the word puto in Mexican Spanish ( a vulgar term for a male prostitute ), the chant received negative attention in the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Amid an investigation conducted on the subject by FIFA authorities, Mexico 's fans defended the chant by claiming that it was traditionally used in the Liga MX. On 23 June 2014, FIFA dropped the case against Mexico, concluding that the chant `` was not considered insulting in the specific context. '' Nonetheless, Football Against Racism in Europe, a leading anti-discrimination organization, criticized FIFA 's ruling as `` disappointing.
