Mexico, the third nation with the most participations in the tournament behind France (42) and Portugal (30), will celebrate their 26th appearance in the competition in 2022. For the third consecutive edition, "El Tri" will be in group B with Ghana, Indonesia and Venezuela. Mexico have always taken the tournament very seriously, with some talented generations. The best example of this is the 2012 edition, which they won before becoming Olympic champions in London a few weeks later. A look at Mexico's history at the tournament.
