Overview

  • The Federación Mexicana de Fútbol has officially named Rafael Márquez as Mexico’s head coach following the 2026 World Cup elimination.
  • Multiple Mexican outlets report a provisional four‑match slate for Márquez during FIFA’s combined September–October window with Colombia in Baltimore, Peru in New Jersey, the United States on October 3, and Chile on October 6, but those dates and venues are not yet confirmed by the FMF.
  • FIFA’s new 16‑day window that merges September and October allows national teams to play up to four matches in a single period, which would give Márquez an extended block to work with his squad.
  • Reports say several of the U.S. fixtures would be staged with involvement from Soccer United Marketing, reflecting commercial ties and the FMF’s contractual commitment to play multiple matches in the United States.
  • The early slate is being framed as a chance to preserve continuity from the previous staff while renewing the roster and managing player minutes, and the FMF must still publish an official itinerary with venues, kickoff times and ticketing.
