"Fans gathered this Thursday around the Nemesio Diez Stadium in Toluca to support the Mexico National Team in their friendly match against Serbia, the last preparation match for El Tri ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Recorded images show the festive atmosphere outside the stadium, where fans from both countries wore national colors and played instruments to welcome the selected players, hoping that Mexico will reach the fifth match of the World Cup for the first time. "Yes, it might be possible to reach the fifth match, and that's because of the conditions of the fields, man. Because yesterday we saw it with Japan. They were in Nuevo Leon, extremely suffocated, man, it seemed like they were missing a liver," commented one of the fans. The proximity of the World Cup, which Mexico will host along with the United States and Canada, also generated excitement among the fans who, for the first time, will have the opportunity to attend the World Cup venues. "I had the chance to go to Qatar, but I didn't get the opportunity. Today, thanks to the stars, to whatever you want, to the neighborhood, to whatever you want, today I will be able to visit some World Cup venues here in Mexico and continue with the people," expressed another fan. In this match, the Mexican National Team managed to defeat Serbia 5 to 1, marking their eighth consecutive match without losing. "Very hopeful, very excited. It's the first time I'm going to experience a World Cup. Many experienced the one in '86. Personally, I didn't get to, but this time I'm ready to try to enjoy it and take it with the best attitude and long live Mexico. Hopefully, we reach the fifth match this time, that they give us that excitement and joy," commented fan Alan Bravo. Although at the end of the day there was an atmosphere of unity among the fans, marked by a collective dance and fireworks, protests were also held over the crisis of disappearances in the country."
