Latinx Files: Why I’m Stepping Back from the Mexican Men's National Soccer Team
Taking a break from the Mexican men's national soccer team is my decision amid their recent poor performances. Over the last few years, El Tri’s decline has been disheartening, especially after failing to advance in the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Reasons Behind the Decision
Since Mexico's early exit from the 2024 Copa America, fans have grown disillusioned. Attendance has dropped significantly in recent matches, with poor showings against New Zealand and Canada.
Market Focus Over Improvement
The Mexican Football Federation has prioritized monetization from fans in the U.S. over on-field success. This approach raises questions about the team's dedication to its supporters.
The Need for Change
As a faithful fan, stepping back feels necessary as a statement of dissatisfaction. It’s important for organizations to recognize the value of their fan base.
