England prepares for historic clash against Mexico at the Azteca
Summary

England is set to face Mexico at the Azteca Stadium in the last-16 of the 2026 World Cup. The venue is noted for Mexico's strong home record, with 70 wins, 17 draws, and only two losses in competitive matches since its opening in 1966. While Mexico has historically excelled at home, recent victories have come against lower-ranked teams. England seeks to overturn history, as they have not beaten Mexico at the Azteca in World Cup competition. The match marks England's first appearance at the stadium since 1986, following two previous encounters.
