Mexico U-20 Women Face Costa Rica in Semifinals

ALAJUELA, Costa Rica — The Mexico U-20 women’s soccer team, known as El Tri, is set to face Costa Rica in the semifinals of the CONCACAF Women’s U-20 Championship today, June 6, at 12:30 PM CDT.

The match will take place at the Estadio Alejandro Morera Soto, where the local team will look to leverage home-field advantage against the dominant Mexican squad. Mexico aims to secure a spot in the final to compete for the championship title.

Head coach Dorival Bueno has led Mexico through a strong tournament, finishing at the top of Group B with impressive victories: 6-0 against Nicaragua, 4-0 against Panama, and 4-2 against Canada. This performance has solidified their status as tournament favorites.

In contrast, Costa Rica, managed by Ana Patricia Aguilar, secured their semifinal spot after a more challenging group stage, with a draw against Puerto Rico, a significant win over Guyana (9-0), and a loss to the eventual Group A leaders, the United States.

As both teams prepare for an intense battle, statistics show Mexico holds a remarkable 42 wins in the history of the U-20 Women’s Championship, second only to the United States.

This semifinal fixture not only highlights regional rivalries but also serves as a pathway to the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup, taking place in Poland in 2026, as both teams have already secured their places.
