Mexico is going to take on Argentina in San Antonio. The men's National Team announced the September 10th match inside the Alamodome today.
The match will be the fifth and final match of the 2019 Mexican National Team U.S. Tour, which has averaged nearly 52,000 fans per game and has seen the Mexican team post a 4-0 record, all against South American opponents.
The match will also mark the first time Mexico Head Coach Gerardo “Tata” Martino faces his former team Argentina, which he managed from 2014 to 2016.
Argentina, currently the 11th ranked team in the world, according to FIFA, has played Mexico on 30 occasions, with Mexico winning four times, Argentina 14, with 12 draws.
