Mexico prepares for 2026 World Cup round of 16 clash with Ecuador

After completing the group stage, Mexico is preparing for a 99% likely round‑of‑16 encounter with Ecuador at the Estadio Ciudad de México. The venue, located in the capital, will host a decisive match that could determine the team's progress in the tournament.

A marginal 1% scenario still exists where Scotland might replace Ecuador as Mexico's opponent, depending on the draw outcome.
