Mexico secured a convincing victory against Ghana in a high-profile friendly match at the Puebla stadium, serving as a key warm-up for the 2026 World Cup. Despite the win, the match was overshadowed by FIFA sanctions that forced sections of the stadium to remain closed to spectators.
The game showcased Mexico's strength and preparation as they co-host the upcoming tournament alongside the United States and Canada. While the team excelled on the pitch, the partial stadium closure highlighted ongoing challenges with FIFA's disciplinary measures.
