Czech coach Miroslav Koubek said his side must ignore Mexico’s formidable World Cup record at the Azteca Stadium and keep believing in their dream of reaching the knockout stage when the teams meet in a decisive Group A clash on Wednesday (June 24, 2026).
Mexico have already secured a place in the knockout stage and guaranteed top spot in the group after victories over South Africa and South Korea. Meanwhile, the match remains critical for the Czechs, who have taken one point from their opening two games and need a positive result to keep their tournament hopes alive.
Co-hosts Mexico have not conceded a goal and are expected to be backed by another packed crowd at the Azteca, where they have never lost a World Cup match, winning six and drawing two across the 1970, 1986 and 2026 tournaments.
