Mexico Faces Switzerland in Upcoming International Friendly

Salt Lake City, Utah – Mexico‘s national soccer team will face Switzerland in an international friendly match on June 7, 2025, at Rice-Eccles Stadium. The match comes as both teams prepare for major competitions ahead, including the upcoming CONCACAF Gold Cup and the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Mexico, aiming to extend its winning streak to three matches, lifted the CONCACAF Nations League trophy in March after defeating Canada and Panama. Fulham striker Raul Jimenez has been key for El Tri, scoring all four goals during that tournament and accumulating a total of 40 goals in 111 appearances for the national team.

The Mexican squad has been in remarkable form, currently on a five-game unbeaten streak and with a solid goal difference of 10 goals scored to just one conceded. Their recent successes have bolstered confidence as they prepare to automatically qualify as hosts for the World Cup 2026.

Head coach Javier Aguirre has had a positive start, winning five of his first seven matches since taking charge, with only one defeat. With nearly all players fit, Aguirre is expected to call upon a strong lineup for this friendly to solidify team cohesion.

Switzerland enters the match after a rocky phase in their recent international outings. The team aims to regain its form ahead of World Cup qualifying matches. After an eight-game winless run, the Swiss finally triumphed over Luxembourg 3-0, but much improvement is needed as they look to build momentum.

With key players retired and dealing with injuries, head coach Murat Yakin will need to find effective replacements. Their squad includes seasoned players, but with the absence of Xherdan Shaqiri and other veterans, younger talent is expected to step up.

The match, held in front of a likely pro-Mexico crowd, offers not only preparation for both teams but also a chance for fans to see emerging talents on the field. Mexico’s form and recent achievements make them the favorites for this encounter.
