Overview
- FMF officials Andrea Rodebaugh and coach Pedro López confirmed the friendly for Saturday, March 7 at 5:00 p.m. local time at Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes in Mexico City.
- The fixture sits within the February–March FIFA window and follows Mexico’s Concacaf W qualifier against Saint Lucia on March 2.
- López said he intends to use his best available lineup, framing Brazil as the kind of elite opponent that helps measure Mexico’s progress.
- Brazil, the reigning Copa América champion ranked No. 6 by FIFA, is expected to arrive about a week early to acclimate, according to López.
- The stadium choice carries a logistical backdrop, as the venue has drawn neighborhood complaints related to large events and local mobility.
