Mexico is a footballobsessed 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 202223 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.
