The Mexican National Team will once again wear green for one of the most important matches in its recent history. Ahead of their Round of 16 match against England at the 2026 World Cup, Javier Aguirre’s team will once again wear their traditional jersey, intending to turn the Mexico City Stadium into a sea of green.
According to sources consulted, Mexico will take the field in their green jerseys. The only detail yet to be determined is the color of the shorts, since England’s shorts are the same shade, and one of the two teams will have to change that part of their uniform to avoid confusion.
The option being considered is for the English team to wear blue shorts, thus allowing the Mexican team, as the home side, to take the field in Mexico City Stadium wearing virtually their full uniform.
This will be the third time Mexico has worn green at the 2026 World Cup. The first was in the opening match against South Africa, and the second was during the victory over Ecuador in the Round of 16—a combination that will now be worn again as the team seeks a spot in the quarterfinals.
In addition to the team’s uniform, expectations are also high in the stands. The hope is that fans will answer the call and turn the Mexico City Stadium green, strengthening the bond between the Mexican national team and its people in this high-stakes match.
Enthusiasm for this jersey is also evident off the field. Mexico’s green jersey is the best-selling item of the 2026 World Cup, with more than five million units sold, surpassing the sales figures of national teams such as Argentina, Spain, and Brazil.
For the first time in 40 years, Mexico will play its fifth match in a World Cup and will seek to take another step toward the quarterfinals. Facing them will be England, one of the tournament’s highest-scoring teams, in a matchup that promises to be one of the most exciting of the round.
During the 2026 World Cup, the Tricolor has worn all three of its registered uniforms: white against the Czech Republic, black in the victory over South Korea, and green—which has become the most frequently worn and will now take center stage once again. For the Mexico vs. England match, the message is clear: the “dress code” will be green.
