Mexico is a football-obsessed nation of 130 million people in Latin America, but whilst fellow Latin American nations like Argentina and Brazil are serial World Cup winners, Mexico have never made it beyond the quarter finals.
At the 2022 World Cup, Mexico went out in the group stage for the first time since 1978, El Tri finished third in the 2022-23 CONCACAF Nations League, and the Mexican Football Federation, the Mexico national team, and Liga MX now all appear to be in a state of crisis.
So in this documentary, HITC Sevens takes a look at international football's greatest underachievers, why Mexico aren't football powerhouses, and whether anything is likely to change before they co-host the 2026 FIFA World Cup alongside Canada and the United States.
