Mexico national team to play Nations League quarter-final in Monterrey
Mexico will return to Nuevo León on November 17 to host the CONCACAF Nations League quarter-final second leg.
The Mexican national team is set to return to Monterrey, with the city scheduled to host the second leg of the CONCACAF Nations League quarter-final on November 17. This match will mark one of the first official competitive fixtures for the team under the leadership of Rafael Márquez.
The match is expected to be held at Estadio BBVA, widely known as the 'Steel Giant'. If confirmed, this would be the first time the Mexican national team plays at the home of CF Monterrey. The last time 'El Tricolor' played in the state of Nuevo León was in 2018, when they faced Costa Rica at the Estadio Universitario.
This fixture is a crucial part of the new process initiated by Rafael Márquez. Mexico secured their quarter-final spot automatically due to their position in the CONCACAF rankings, joining the United States, Canada, and Panama. Their opponent will be determined following the conclusion of the group stage.
The quarter-final series will be played over two legs, with the winner on aggregate advancing to the Nations League Finals, scheduled for March 2027 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. Returning to Monterrey holds special significance for the team, as the city remains a major football hub following its role as a host for the 2026 World Cup.
