Mexico face Bolivia in their second preparation match ahead of the 2026 World Cup this Sunday, January 25. The Tricolor visit Bolivia, who are gearing up for the intercontinental playoff to secure a World Cup spot. After a dramatic win over Panama in the final minutes last Thursday, Mexico aim for a convincing performance on South American soil, although without the altitude advantage, as the venue sits just 400 meters above sea level, far below Mexico City’s 2,240 meters.
