The possibility of seeing another Mexico vs. England match at Wembley is starting to gain momentum. After journalist Henry Winter called on the English Football Association (FA) on X to organize a friendly after the match between the two teams at the 2026 World Cup, a rematch for El Tri could be closer than ever.
A new report from the Daily Mail notes that the FA "is actively looking at whether it would be feasible to host the tournament co-hosts in London at some point." This is what is known so far.
¿Por qué Inglaterra quiere recibir a México en Wembley?
Following the match between Mexico and England on July 5, in which El Tri fell 2-3, Three Lions fans shared on social media the pleasant experience they had with Mexican fans, highlighting their kindness and the atmosphere that was felt at the Mexico City Stadium.
User @crimp_it shared on X:
- "¡Qué sueño poder ver a Inglaterra en el Azteca y que además fuera una victoria para el recuerdo! Vaya… demostramos calidad y determinación para conseguir la victoria. Me alegra poder pasar un par de días más en la Ciudad de México: gente maravillosa, comida excelente y los más elegantes en la derrota".

- "Sin duda, una de las experiencias más increíbles de mi vida. La cultura, la pasión, los aficionados, el ambiente, el PARTIDO… ME HA CAMBIADO LA VIDA. A todos los que tengan la oportunidad, vivan la Copa del Mundo al menos una vez en la vida… ¡es una experiencia incomparable! ¡Gracias, México!".
That is why English journalists and fans want to invite the Mexican National Team to a friendly at Wembley, which is the most iconic stadium in English football and the usual home of the England National Team.
Thomas Tuchel y Jude Bellingham elogian al Tri y a su afición
The good impression wasn't only among the fans. England's head coach, Thomas Tuchel, also recognized the opponent's level and the atmosphere that was present during the encounter.
"We played against a strong team in an incredible, incredible stadium, and in an incredible country. It’s almost a shame for me to say that you (Mexico) were eliminated, because I saw the passion and the emotion of all the people."
For his part, midfielder Jude Bellingham also expressed his admiration for Mexico:
"It was a pleasure to play in a setting like this against a team like this, in a country that is so incredible when it comes to football and life in general."
¿Cuándo se llevaría a cabo el amistoso entre México e Inglaterra?
According to the Daily Mail, the possible friendly between Mexico and England at Wembley would still be in a very early stage, so there is no defined date yet.
Should it take place, the match would have to be played after the 2026 World Cup, as England is still in contention for the title and will face Norway in the quarterfinals next Saturday, July 11 at 3:00 PM (Central Mexico time).
