The Mexican team had its last preparation match before the start of the 2026 World Cup. The Aztec team beat Serbia 5-1 and is beginning to get excited before the tournament. Roberto Alvarado has big goals in the World Cup. One of them would be to reach the final.

Javier Aguirre's team was paired again in Group A of the 2026 World Cup. Mexico shares this sector with South Africa, South Korea and the Czech Republic.

Roberto Alvarado considers that the first major objective is to be able to dominate the group stage. After this round, “Piojo” allows himself to dream of being in the final of the 2026 World Cup.

"For us to make history is first to win the first three phase matches, to advance. Maybe people will say that we are crazy for thinking and dreaming of being in a world final, but I think that would be the objective. It is to go step by step and game by game," said Roberto Alvarado in statements compiled by Record.

Roberto Alvarado is an experienced footballer within the Mexican squad. “El Piojo” has played 68 games with the Mexican national team shirt. The Chivas footballer represents the Aztec team's shirt with the same enthusiasm.

"This shirt is a source of pride, it is a good opportunity to give 100 percent of each one. We are up for great things, with maximum enthusiasm. We are all at 100 percent and the most important thing is to start on the right foot on the 11th," he added.

Roberto Alvarado is on the verge of playing his second World Cup. “El Piojo” already played a game in a World Cup. The Chivas footballer played 17 minutes against Argentina in Qatar 2022.

The first match of the Mexican team in the 2026 World Cup will be on Thursday, June 11. El Tri will debut against South Africa at the legendary Azteca Stadium.
