TheMexico women's national football team (Spanish:Selección Nacional de México Femenil) represents Mexico in internationalwomen's football. The team is governed by theMexican Football Federation and competes withinCONCACAF, the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football. It has won three gold medals in theCentral American and Caribbean Games and a gold medal in thePan American Games, as well as a silver and bronze in the Women's World Cup prior toFIFA's recognition of the women's game. In addition to its senior team, Mexico also hasU-20,U-17, and U-15 teams. The U-17 team reached the final of the2018 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup, and the U-15 cohort earned the bronze medal in the2014 Youth Olympic Games.

The senior team was originally established in 1963, but its first FIFA-recognized game was in 1991. Mexico's senior team has participated in threeWomen's World Cups and one edition of theSummer Olympic Games. Mexico is set to co-host the2031 FIFA Women's World Cup along with the United States, earning them a automatic qualification as co-host.

Pedro López is the current national team's manager, after taking the role in late 2022.

History

[edit]

Unofficial era

[edit]

Although not officially recognized by FIFA until 1991, Mexico's team was actually established in 1963, when many countries still had bans on women's football.[2] In the 1950s, bothCosta Rica andArgentina witnessed increased interest in the women's game and held tours in various countries. In 1963,Las Ticas, the Costa Rica women's national football team, spent six months in Mexico conducting a tour to increase exposure of the game. Observing the success ofLas Ticas, Mexico formed its first team to play in opposition to Costa Rica.

Led byAlicia Vargas, Mexico placed third in the1970 Women's World Cup, a tournament FIFA has yet to acknowledge. Mexico fell 2–1 in the semifinal to hostsItaly before defeatingEngland 3–2 in the third place match. The following year, Mexico hosted the1971 Women's World Cup, which has also yet to be officially recognized. The squad reached the final but fell 3–0 toDenmark. An estimated 110,000 people attended the final atEstadio Azteca,[3] which is the largest crowd ever to witness a women's soccer game; FIFA has not recognized this attendance record either.

To participate in each world cup, teams had to qualify. Mexico faced Peru, Argentina, and South Africa en route to the 1971 edition.

Modern era

[edit]

In the 1980s, when a series ofmundialitos took place, Mexico participated in the 1986 edition.[4] Mexico was placed in Group A along with Italy andJapan, but the team did not advance beyond the first stage.

Mexico's first official appearance in the Women's World Cup was in1999, when the United States hosted the tournament. The team also qualified in2011 and2015, hosted by Germany and Canada, respectively. Likewise, the team qualified for theSummer Olympic Games in2004. In all four instances,El Tri Femenil failed to advance beyond the group stage; in fact, the team has yet to win a single game in either major tournament.

The first official coach for the Mexico women's national football team was Leonardo Cuéllar. One of his first objectives was to qualify for the 1999 Women's World Cup.[5] The team accomplished this by placing second toCanada in the1998 CONCACAF Women's Championship. However, much controversy arose regarding the nationalities of the recruited players. Preference was given to US-born players of Mexican heritage, largely because Mexico did not have an official league at the time.Andrea Rodebaugh, the team's then-captain, argued that the team's main goal was to qualify; she also wanted to strengthen the team and celebrate its official recognition.[6] Despite the controversy, the team went on to participate in the 1999 Women's World Cup with a mix of US-born and Mexican-born players.

In recent years,[when?] an increase in young talent developing in Mexico brought an increase of expectations from Mexican football fans and media alike. Following their worst everWorld Cup finish in 2015, fans began calling for Cuellar's resignation or firing. In 2016, the women's national football team failed to qualify for the Olympics, and lost toCosta Rica, which was the turning point in the team's history since many[who?] thought the defeat resulted in Mexico becoming the fourth-best team inCONCACAF. With these results andLeonardo Cuellar's controversial decision to not bringCharlyn Corral andKenti Robles, who had terrific[citation needed] seasons at their clubs in Spain'sPrimera División, onto the squad[7] led to his resignation from his position in April 2016.[8]Roberto Medina became the head coach in 2017.[9]

In 2018 Mexico won theCentral American and Caribbean Games by defeatingCosta Rica 3–1 in the final.[10]

At the2018 CONCACAF Women's Championship Mexico entered as the third highest ranked team behind theUnited States and Canada. At the tournament Mexico finished third in their group with a record of one win and two losses, which included a surprising 2–0 loss toPanama. As a result of not advancing to the knockout round, Mexico was unable to qualify for the2019 FIFA Women's World Cup in France.[11] Medina was replaced by U-20 coach Christopher Cuellar, Leo Cuellar's son. His tenure was short-lived, having placed fifth in the2019 Pan American Games (despite absences from the United States and Canada) and after failing to qualify for the2020 Olympics. He was replaced in January 2021 byMónica Vergara, who led the U-17 squad to the2018 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup final.

Notable matches

[edit]

Mexico's first recorded international game was againstAustria during the 1970 Women's World Cup, when squad beat the European side 9–0 in the group stage. However, to participate in this inaugural tournament, teams had to qualify, soLa Tri played against other teams prior to this match.

Before the modern era, Mexico defeated England 2–1 in the third place match of the 1970 Women's World Cup, the first edition of the tournament. In front of a record-breaking crowd, the team also reached the final of the 1971 Women's World Cup, but fell 3–0 to Denmark.

Among the most notable victories is when the team finished second in the2010 CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup. Hosts of the cup, Mexico defeated theUnited States in the semifinal for the first time before falling toCanada in the final. Mexico would go 14 years before defeating the United States again after defeating the hosts 2–0 in the first-ever2024 CONCACAF W Gold Cup. It was the second time Mexico beat the senior team in 43 attempts, and it was the first time Mexico did so in the United States. The United States hadn't lost against a CONCACAF rival at home since a defeat by Canada in 2000.

See also:List of football stadiums in Mexico

TheEstadio Azteca, also known in Spanish as "El Coloso de Santa Úrsula", was built in 1966. It is the officialhome stadium of the Mexico women's national team, as well as the Mexican club teamClub América (women). It has a capacity of 87,000 seats (after renovation works)[12] making it the largest football-specific stadium in the Americas and the third largest stadium in the world for that sport.

Domestic recognition

[edit]

In various occasions, fans have shown up in large numbers to support La Tri. When Mexico played against Denmark in the 1971 Women's World Cup final, over 100,000 showed up at Estadio Azteca. Likewise, when Mexico played Argentina in a playoff game to qualify for the 1999 Women's World Cup, over 700,000 fans were in attendance.

Until recently, attention around the women's team was dwarf edition and was the subject for a series that featured the women’s teams and women’s teams competing at a tournament of their choosing at a time of the season and a tournament of its kind that included the by the men's squad. Few matches were televised or advertised, limiting knowledge around the team's achievements and struggles. Former ESPN commentatorNelly Simón frequently advocated for more attention to this team. Likewise, after winning the gold medal at the 2018 Central American and Caribbean Games, Kenti Robles called on news outlets and fans to pay more attention to them. However, with increased attention in the women's game after the establishment of the women's league in 2017, more games have been televised. Since then, millions watched Mexico play in the U-17 world cup final againstSpain in 2018.

Player preparation

[edit]

Many national team players currently play in theLiga MX Femenil, Mexico's first-division women's league. Some players also play in the United States via theNWSL or theNCAA, while others elect to play in Spain'sPrimera Divisíon. A few have played in the top women's leagues in Australia, China, England, France, Japan, Italy, Israel, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Sweden.

1.Gil Monterd (1991–1998):
As La Tri's first official coach between 1991 and 1998, Monterd took an inexperienced and under-resourced squad to the1991 CONCACAF Women's Championship inPort-au-Prince,Haiti. Sending only one qualifier from the confederation to the1991 FIFA Women's World Cup, this tournament fielded eight teams divided into two groups. Matches were also only 80 minutes long. In Group A, Mexico lost to eventual winner United States 12–0, its worst ever appearance. With a loss againstTrinidad and Tobago and a win againstMartinique, Mexico finished third in the group, failing to advance to the semifinals. Likewise, during the1994 CONCACAF Women's Championship, which determined the two qualifiers for the1995 FIFA Women's World Cup, Mexico finished in third place, failing to reach the international tournament yet again.

2.Leonardo Cuéllar (1998–2016):
Once a highly touted player for theMexico men's national football team, Cuéllar took over El Tri Femenil after a brief stint as the women's soccer coach atCSULA. Head coach until 2016—a period of 18 years—Cuéllar had a questionable record. As head coach, Mexico only qualified for the world cup on three occasions and the Olympics once; his teams never won a single game in any major tournament, nor did they finish first in theCONCACAF Women's Gold Cup. Common criticism of his leadership was hisnepotism and overreliance on US-born players. Cuéllar was never at risk of losing his job despite dubious results, and he even hired close allies, including his sonChristopher Cuéllar. He also regularly held tryouts in the United States without doing the same in Mexico.

Initially charged with taking the squad to the1998 CONCACAF Women's Championship, which would award 1.5 qualification slots to the 1999 Women's World Cup, he was successful in qualifying for the team's first ever appearance at the official tournament. Finishing first in its group and winning againstGuatemala in the semifinal, Mexico eventually fell 1–0 to Canada in the final. Mexico went on to qualify for the cup after defeatingArgentina in the CONCACAF-CONMEBOL playoff match. Cuéllar was very lucky to qualify. The tournament expanded from 12 teams to 16 teams and the United States was the host, so their squad automatically qualified; had these two changes not been made, Mexico would have likely been out.

Cuéllar went on to schedule friendlies and participate in organized tournaments, but with few victories. The team qualified for2011 and2015, but his coaching style remained consistent. Frustration grew among his players after his call-ups involved much controversy. As players likeCharlyn Corral andKenti Robles demanded change, Cuéllar began to omit them from future squads. Likewise, he discriminated againstStephany Mayor andBianca Sierra for being in a relationship, leading to their infrequent call-ups as well. His reign eventually ended when Mexico failed to qualify for the2016 Summer Olympics.

3.Roberto Medina (2016–2018):
Promoted from U-20 squad to the senior team without any official announcement from theFMF, Medina served as head coach from 2016 to 2018. With few victories—including a 3–0 win againstVenezuela early in his tenure, his technique was essentially a continuation of Cuéllar's style. Though he was praised after Mexico won the gold during the2018 Central American and Caribbean Games, he was relieved of his position after failing to advance out of the group stage during the2018 CONCACAF Women's Championship. With losses toPanama and the United States, Mexico did not qualify for the2019 FIFA Women's World Cup despite having theLiga MX Femenil and the most talented generation it had seen up until this point. Historically weaker teams, such asJamaica and Panama, advanced further than the squad, signifying that other teams had surpassed Mexico. After his ouster, he became head coach ofTigres. Medina had been the U-20 coach one other time, but elected to coach a men's team just before a world cup.

4.Christopher Cuéllar (2019–2020):
With no official announcement, Cuéllar Jr. replaced Medina after the team failed to qualify for 2019. Cuéllar, the son ofLeonardo Cuéllar, was promoted after serving as the U-20 women's squad coach. Like his predecessors, Cuéllar Jr. has had limited results. During the2019 Pan American Games, La Tri finished in fifth place after failing to advance beyond the group stage despite the absence of both the United States and Canada. Throughout his first 21 games as DT, the team has had 6 victories, 5 draws, and 10 losses. Their best win has been against theCzech Republic, then ranked 28th in the world (with whom they've also tied), whereas their worst loss was againstParaguay, ranked 48th. Despite upcoming dates like the2018 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, Cuéllar Jr. was seen working with men's teams. #FueraCuellar has trended on Twitter multiple times. On January 18, 2021, the FMF announced that Cuéllar was relieved of his duties as head coach, nearly a year after the team's last match.

5.Mónica Vergara (2021–2022):
On January 19, 2021, theFMF formally announced Vergara as the full team's head coach. Prior to rising to the highest level, Vergara was an assistant coach and eventually head coach for each of the U-15, U-17, and U-20 squads. She led the U-15 team to the bronze medal at the2014 Youth Olympic Games inNanjing, China. She also led the U-17 team to a second-place finish at the2018 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup, the best result of any Mexican women's team at a world cup. Vergara also led the U-20 squad to a second-place finish of the2020 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship to qualify for the2020 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, but the event was postponed by a year before eventually being canceled due to theCOVID-19 pandemic. Vergara's hiring has coincided with increased engagement from the Federation. The women's national team now has its own social media accounts, and the team has scheduled more friendlies during FIFA dates. In addition, she has recruited more players from theLiga MX Femenil. All of these were great signs for this growing team, which qualified for the2022 CONCACAF W Championship. However, during the competition Mexico performed poorly, and were eliminated from the group stage without a goal or a win and didn't qualify for the2023 FIFA Women's World Cup. On August 15, 2022, the FMF announced that Vergara was relieved of her duties as head coach, a month after the CONCACAF W Championship.[13]

6.Pedro López (2022–present):
López was named as head coach on September 15, 2022 byAndrea Rodebaugh, the federation's national director of women's teams. Prior to his tenure with Mexico, he served as head coach forSpain U-20, which won the2022 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup and came in second during the2018 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup. HisU-19 Spanish Squad won the2022 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship. He was an assistant for the squad that won the2018 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup as well as for the winners of theUEFA Women's Under-17 Championship in2010,2011,2015, and2018. For theU-19 team, he served as assistant during their victories in the2017 and2018 editions of theUEFA Women's Under-19 Championship. In his debut with Mexico, the squad earned a draw againstChile. His first victory with the team came againstNigeria. López led Mexico to its first-ever gold medal in the2023 Panamerican Games after leading them to their third gold medal in the2023 Central American and Caribbean Games. López also guided the team in its second-ever victory over the United States during the 2024 CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup. López's team went undefeated for the first 23 games before falling to Brazil in the semifinals of that same tournament.
