Team Statistics — Overview
Mexico's 2026 Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) World Cup campaign produced 4 wins, 0 draws, and 1 loss across five matches, with 9 goals scored and 3 conceded, marking the co-host nation's strongest tournament run in decades.

Santiago Giménez led the scoring with 4 goals, and the team maintained an average of 58% possession with 87% pass accuracy across the five fixtures.
Three clean sheets against a single defensive breakdown in the Round of 16 highlight a squad built on defensive control. Santiago Giménez finished as top scorer with 4 goals, Orbelín Pineda delivered the tournament's most assists with 3, and captain Edson Álvarez anchored midfield throughout every match. Attacking depth across Giménez, Jiménez, Pineda, and Chávez carried Mexico through a perfect group stage, while the Round of 16 defeat to England remains the clearest area for development.
