Mexico continues to arouse enthusiasm with its participation in the Chile 2025 Under-20 World Cup and now they will have to face a historic rivalry against Argentina to dream of being among the four best teams in the tournament and take another step towards the final.
The team led by Eduardo Arce monopolized the spotlight thanks to a consistent group stage where they saved important points against powerhouses like Spain and Brazil, in addition to beating Morocco, classified as the best team in the “group of death”. The next merit of the Aztec team was to beat the host country Chile in the round of 16.
