Mexico name lineup for World Cup match against South Korea

Mexico and South Korea have confirmed their starting lineups ahead of their Group A clash at the World Cup 2026 in Guadalajara.

Mexico make three changes from their opening win over South Africa. Jorge Sánchez, Edson Álvarez and Luis Romo come into the side, with Cesar Montes suspended.

South Korea also make adjustments due to injuries. Kim Moon-Hwan replaces Lee Tae-Seok, while Bae Jun-Ho and Kim Tae-Hyeon remain sidelined.

The match kicks off at 2am UK time on Friday and is available on BBC Two and iPlayer. A win would all but secure a place in the knockout stages for either team.

Mexico and South Korea have met 14 times previously, with Mexico winning nine of those encounters.
