Mexico ready to face Panama in Toyota Park debut Tuesday

Mexican National Team

The Mexican National Team makes its first-ever appearance at Toyota Park Tuesday night in an international friendly vs. Panama. The match comes on the heels of Mexico's 2-1 win over New Zealand Saturday in Nashville and serves as a final tune-up prior to the looming World Cup qualifying bout between El Tri and the United States (Nov. 11). Mexico's second game of the qualifying hexagonal will then be played four days later (Nov. 15) against this same Panamanian side. 


Limited seats remain available for the match via Ticketmaster. Click here to view rosters for both Mexico -- which is under the direction of one-time Chicago Fire head coach Juan Carlos Osorio -- and Panama.
