Introduction To Mexico Soccer

In Mexico, soccer started developing in different regions of the country, with the first organized form of a championship with the Primera Fuerza, which consists of a team of local league around the Federal District. Players were semi-professional at this time, a time when Europe has promoted professional football.

With FIFA gaining ground as an international football, Mexico agreed to a national football of their own organization in 1927, called the Federación Mexicana de Fútbol Asociación (FMFA), who joined FIFA in 1929 just in time to attend the first World Cup with the new national soccer team of Mexico.

Although the first World Cup, Mexico has not been considered a football power football at the time, which was confirmed by their lack of results in the preliminaries of the World Cup in 1950. Although the team has now a constant presence on the World Cup, they struggled to compete with stronger countries of Europe and South America and only won 1 game in 5 tournaments, against Czechoslovakia in 1962.

But in 1970, a national effort to promote football and see the economic importance of hosting a World Cup, Mexico has managed to obtain the rights to hold their first World Cup history. The Mexican soccer team has managed to reach the quarterfinals on that occasion, which is even more of their international achievements to date.

However, she wishes that this achievement of 16 years and 4 World Cups later, back home, they like the World Cup in 1986, considered by many to be the most fun in football history would hold.

Today, reaching the quarterfinals of the World Cup is considered more difficult than it was in the 70s or 80s and although the Mexican football has been major progress, they are still in the league facing major giants of football in Europe or South America. However, the future looks much brighter for the Mexican football in general and the national soccer team in Mexico.

Football Club in the country is now considered one of the richest in America and some powerful teams to participate in the Copa Libertadores, a competition that is normally permitted only for South American clubs.

Several quality players are gone from the Mexican League for the strongest, the clearest examples Rafael Marquez and Giovani Dos Santos, who was purchased by the Spanish FC Barcelona and both are important members of the team.

With these two players in the team, and several other emerging talents to play in the National League, the national soccer team of Mexico appears stronger than ever and ready to finish their Quarterfinal play better the next World Cup in Africa South, 2010.
