The Mexican national soccer team is enjoying one of its best moments in the 2026 World Cup, and that optimism is also evident in the locker room, as following the 3-0 victory over the Czech Republic—which saw Javier Aguirre’s team finish the group stage with a perfect record—young Gilberto Mora stated that the Tricolor has what it takes to compete for the title.
The midfielder’s comments drew attention because they come at a time when Mexico is brimming with confidence, having finished at the top of Group A with nine points and advanced to the knockout stage while demonstrating strength in both defense and offense. “My family must be very happy with the game we all played, and the Mexican national team is poised to be champions,” Mora said after the match at Azteca Stadium.

With those words, Gilberto Mora made it clear that any decision regarding his professional future will be postponed until after the tournament, as he focuses all his efforts on helping Mexico.
