Mexico national team wonderkid Gilberto Mora is confident El Tri has what it takes to make history and win the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The 17-year-old midfielder doesn’t lack any confidence and revealed to that he considers Mexico as favorites to win the World Cup next summer.
“I think Mexico,” Mora answered on when asked for his World Cup favorite. “We’re at home. We just have to believe it, that’s all. We have everything [it takes] to become champions.”
It’s an incredibly optimistic outlook from the young gem, given Mexico’s best World Cup result ever is a quarterfinals exit twice. El Tri hasn’t made it that far since the 1986 World Cup.
Mexico has participated in every World Cup since 1994, but saw their dreams come to an end in the round of 16 every single time, until a poor performance in the most recent tournament resulted in a group stage exit.
