About this episode

The episode discusses the financial implications of Mexico's national soccer team, El Tri, playing more games in the U.S. than in Mexico due to a lucrative contract.

Mexicos national soccer team, El Tri, plays significantly more games in the U.S. than in Mexico, with a contract with Soccer United Marketing driving this trend. The deal, renewed in 2022, guarantees six friendly games in the U.S. annually, contributing a third of the federations yearly budget. The financial incentive is substantial, with U.S. games bringing in massive sponsorship money, and a larger fan base in the U.S. compared to Mexico.
