You might not know this, but Mexico will be playing two friendlies in three weeks.
- Against whom? It is not known.
- Where? It is not known.
- When? On January 17 and 21.
Unbelievable, but true; Also, this is official information. In the calendar revealed by Liga MX (which can be consulted on its website) between Matchday 2 and Matchday 3 of Clausura 2025, the Mexican national team will play two friendlies. The problem is that with the first game (Friday the 17th) still three weeks away, there’s not much information about it, only rumours.
According to press leaks, Tricolor River Plate (club from Argentina) and Inter de Porto Alegre (club from Brazil) will play in their respective countries. That means Javier Aguirre’s team will go to South America and play exotic matches against teams, not against a national team. It looks like the clash against Valencia in Spain in October will not be an isolated case in this process for 2026.
Who is your team debuting against in Liga MX’s Clausura 2025?
Liga MX will not cancel these games based on the established calendar. The first game of the year for El Tri is on the 17th, the same Friday as, for example, Chivas. On the other hand, why did they schedule the second match (21) one day after the last match of Matchday 2, three days before the start of the next date of Mexican football?
Therefore, it can be assumed that these matches will be against the under-23 team or local bullfighters who receive permission from their clubs to ‘support’ the Mexican national team.
With the High Commissioner’s resignation still pending and two friendlies scheduled against secret rivals next month, it is understandable why Javier Aguirre threatened to resign from Tri.
Investment funds in Liga MX were rejected and the high commissioner resigned
Juan Carlos Rodríguez, who headed the Tri Project, couldn’t take it anymore.
