Mexico will face Colombia at the AT&T Stadium on Saturday in a friendly clash between the two nations. El Tri secured an automatic spot in next year's FIFA World Cup due to their status as one of the host nations and have scheduled a series of friendlies to build momentum for the global showpiece.
They faced Japan and South Korea in friendly action during the last international break, playing out a goalless draw with the former and a 2-2 draw with the latter, featuring goals from Raul Jimenez and AC Milan striker Santiago Gimenez.
Colombia, meanwhile, had mixed results in the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers but picked up big wins in their final two matches to finish third in the table and secure their first appearance on the global stage since 2018.
