Some great players have represented El Tri and this is their best ever XI!
Mexico are historically the most successful national team in the CONCACAF region with 11 titles at continental level.
Nicknamed "El Tri", they have qualified for 17 World Cups throughout their history and have featured at each tournament since 1994, making them one of only six countries to do so!
Some incredible superstars have featured for Mexico, with the likes of Hugo Sanchez, Rafael Marquez and Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez as just some of the players to have represented some of the world's biggest clubs.
But who make Mexico's ultimate dream team?
Let's take a look!

One of the pioneers of the "sweeper keeper" concept so prevalent in modern day, Campos was known for his skill on the ball outside the penalty area as much as his saves.
A proper athlete, the shot stopper had tremendous leaping ability, athleticism and speed to rush off his line, which balanced out his height disadvantage.
Campos made 129 appearances for Mexico between 1991 and 2003.
An interesting fact about Campos is that he started out as a striker and scored 28 goals for his first club UNAM.
He featured at two World Cups, in 1994 and 1998 and only just keeps Guillermo Ochoa out of this XI, with the latter regularly turning into Superman while representing the national team!

Salcido was a key figure at three World Cups – in 2006, 2010 and 2014 – as well as three Gold Cups – in 2005, 2007 and 2011 – and was also part of the team that won the gold medal at the 2012 Summer OIympics.
He played most of his international career as left-back, but also featured as a defensive midfielder and ended his career as a centre-back.
Salcido retired after the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Marquez, nicknamed El Kaiser, is arguably one of the best Mexican players of all time.
The former Barcelona man is the third most-capped player in the history of the Mexican national team, earning 147 caps during his international stint between 1997 and 2018.
He became only the fourth player to play for his country at five consecutive World Cups, appearing in the 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2018 editions.
Marquez also holds the record for playing the most number of games at World Cups (19).
He won the 1999 Confederations Cup and 2003 and 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cups with Mexico.

Suarez held the record for the most caps with the Mexico national team (177) until Andres Guardado dethroned him, with Ahmed Hassan, Sergio Ramos, Cristiano Ronaldo and Mohamed Al-Deayea the only other players with more caps.
He was a key member of Mexico's 1994 World Cup squad in the United States as well as the 1998 World Cup in France.
He missed the 2002 World Cup due to injury, but played at his third World Cup in Germany in 2006.
