Mexico to return to Copa America for $2 million, Concacaf trembles
Mexico could return to the Copa America all thanks to 2 million dollars
The Mexican national team and the Mexican federation are already starting to prepare their cards for the great world competition in 2026. The Mexican team has established itself as one of the venues for such event and after the failure in the 2022 World Cup, the team wants a more worthy preparation.
It is important to remember that Mexico will not have to go through World Cup qualifiers to host the competition. The same case as Canada and the United States. To this end, FOX reports that there is a concrete interest for the three teams to participate in the next Copa America, which is CONMEBOL's major tournament.

One of the big motivators for such an agreement would be precisely the sponsors behind the Mexican national team. The Gold Cup is an important competition in the region, but it does not compare to a Copa America, which is held in South America. For this reason, many sponsors of El Tri are trying to boost Mexico's participation in the tournament.
Are there two million dollars at stake for El Tri?
The big sponsor of El Tri, a brand to which Guillermo Ochoa himself is an investor, pays around 2 million dollars to be the official sponsor of the national team. Therefore, an opportunity like the Copa America is something unparalleled and even more so shortly after having been in a World Cup.
