Mexico comes into this year’s tournament as huge favorites. La Tri won the nation’s ninth Gold Cup in 2023, and followed that up with a triumphant victory in the CONCACAF Nations League this past year. They bring in a lot of the talent that has helped them win over the past couple of years with the hopes of competing for a trophy once again.

Mexico beat the Dominican Republic 3-2 on Saturday night during a goal-filled opening match of the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup. Scorers: Álvarez 44', Jimenez 47', Montes 53'; González 51',
