Hugo Sánchez, a reference in Mexican soccer, keeps alive the desire to see the National Team win the World Cup. With Mexico hosting the 2026 World Cup, that hope becomes more tangible.
Hugo’s dream for 2026
The historic striker celebrated the final call-up of Javier Aguirre and highlighted the quality of the attackers. For Sánchez, playing at home could be the factor that propels El Tri towards a historic performance. Your personal goal is clear:
“I am known more for playing in Spain than for playing for the Mexican national team. In 1986 I fulfilled a dream I had as a child; I hope that Mexico and Spain meet in the final, that would be my dream as an adult. I find it difficult for Mexico, there are other teams, but I would love to.”
Proud to be a three-time champion host
Sánchez recalled that Spain won the title in 2010. Although he feels envy, he is also happy, because Spain is his second home due to the sporting achievements he achieved there. He highlighted a fact that makes Mexico proud:
“We are the only ones to organize three World Cups, that speaks well of Mexico and in that aspect we are world champions. It makes me a little envious that Spain already achieved it in 2010, but I enjoyed it because of the history and the memories I made.”
Thus, the former player combines pride in his second homeland with the hope of seeing the Mexican team in the final of the next tournament.
