JC Chávez does his bit with the Mexican team
Former multi-time boxing world champion Julio César Chávez wished the players of the Mexican national team success in the 2026 World Cup
Any help will always contribute to the success of the Mexican team in the 2026 World Cup, which is just around the corner and where the Tricolor will debut in ten more days. For that reason, the moral support provided by the living legend of world boxing Julio César Chávez will be highly valued.
This was perceived by the members of the Tricolor who lived with the former multi-time world champion and with the president of the World Boxing Council, Mauricio Sulaimán, who took advantage of a break in the players' activities to live with them and express their unconditional support in the great international event that is to come.
Between hugs, photographs and applause, the meeting served to unite two disciplines that have marked the country's sporting history, but above all to give them the best vibes in a competition where the ball will start rolling next Thursday at 1:00 p.m. local time.
"It is an honor to be together with the greatest glory of Mexican boxing, and I thank you all very much for having received us. May every drop of sweat and tears. May all your effort be worth it. May God bless you, long live Mexico, and long live all of you," said Mauricio Sulaimán before the team, accompanied by sports director Duilio Davino and coach Javier Aguirre.
Julio César Chávez's intervention with the players and coaching staff was full of experiences from his historic career as world champion and sent a message of confidence to Mexican soccer players facing the World Cup challenge.
“I hear a lot of things about reaching the fifth game, but I really believe that they are going to go much further,” said Julio César Chávez in front of the group.
The former world champion also spoke about the importance of mental strength and the ability to overcome adversity in the highest competition: "You are going to face very difficult challenges, and believe me, I have also faced them. Listen to your coach, he is in your corner and will be the one to help you move forward. It doesn't matter if your rival is faster, stronger or more agile than you. Don't give up and dream big," he added.
As part of the meeting, Chávez gave autographed gloves to the members of the Mexican National Team, while the Mexican Soccer Federation reciprocated with personalized t-shirts for both guests, with number 26 on the back.
The evening concluded with an official photograph that immortalized the moment. Beyond the image, the visit left a clear message for El Tri: representing Mexico means carrying the dreams of millions of people, a responsibility that Chávez and Sulaimán sought to reinforce before the team embarks on the path to a new World Cup adventure.
