NEW YORK & MEXICO CITY (July 18, 2023) – The Federación Mexicana de Fútbol (FMF) and Soccer United Marketing (SUM) today announced that the recently crowned 2023 Concacaf Gold Cup Champion Mexican Men’s National Team will play four matches in the United States this Fall as part of the 20^th anniversary of the MexTour, including a much-anticipated battle against four-time FIFA World Cup champion Germany on Tuesday, October 17 at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field.

The MexTour continues Tuesday, September 12, with Mexico’s first-ever match against Uzbekistan at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium, also a 2026 FIFA World Cup host venue, and a frequent host of MexTour matches.

On Saturday, October 14, Mexico will line up against African powerhouse Ghana at a venue to be announced, followed three days later by a marquee match against Germany at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field, a 2026 FIFA World Cup host venue where in 2015 Mexico was crowned Gold Cup Champion.
