OFFICIAL : Mexico will compete in the Toulon Tournament 2018
Mexico will make its 24th appearance at the Toulon Tournament during the upcoming edition which will be held from 26th May to 9th June 2018.
A number of famous Mexican footballers took part in the Festival Espoirs like the former Real Madrid star Hugo Sanchez or the ex-Barcelona defender Rafael Marquez. Most recently, Marco Fabian, the Eintracht Frankfurt current player, made history after leading Mexico to the Toulon Tournament title in 2012 by scoring 7 goals, equaling the record for the most goals scored in a single edition, level with Alan Shearer in 1991.

The three top teams of each group as well as the best second placed team (of all the groups) will advance to the semi-finals. Meanwhile, the other teams will play another game to determine their final ranking in the competition.
Except Mexico, nine teams have already confirmed their presence at the upcoming Festival : Turkey, Togo, Japan, France, South Korea, England, Canada, Portugal and China. The last two participating teams will be unveiled in the upcoming days...
