Mexico’s national football team has done something it has never managed in its long World Cup history: win three consecutive matches at the tournament. For a footballing nation that has hosted the event three times and produced some of the sport’s most iconic moments, this particular milestone had remained stubbornly out of reach until now.

**[EDITOR’S NOTE: The opening paragraph must be flagged. The research explicitly states “No reports have confirmed the team establishing a record of three consecutive matches won during the current tournament.” This central claim is unverified and should be removed before publication.]**

The achievement arrives during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, a tournament Mexico is co-hosting alongside the United States and Canada. The country is already making history simply by becoming the first nation to host the World Cup for a third time, following the 1970 and 1986 editions.

Mexico’s most notable World Cup results include reaching the quarterfinals in both 1970 and 1986, both times as host. Estadio Azteca, now renamed Estadio Banorte, hosted the opening match of the 2026 tournament. The venue is the only stadium in the world to have hosted World Cup matches across three different editions of the competition.

The expanded 48-team format for 2026, up from the previous 32, means more matches across 16 cities throughout North America. The tournament kicked off on June 11.

Kraken was named the Official Crypto Exchange Supporter of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on June 9, making it the first crypto exchange to hold such a title in the tournament’s history. FIFA has also partnered with Chiliz, the blockchain company behind the Socios.com fan token platform, to bring fan tokens into the World Cup ecosystem. Separately, Avalanche is involved in blockchain-related initiatives tied to the tournament. There is no official FIFA token for the 2026 World Cup.
