This is the fully-customizable short-sleeve home kit for Mexico’s 2014 World Cup campaign.

Mexico’s journey at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil was marked by a mix of resilience, tactical discipline, and memorable moments that left a lasting impression on fans and critics alike. Under the stewardship of coach Miguel Herrera, El Tri entered the tournament with a blend of experienced veterans and promising talents. Drawn into Group A alongside the host nation Brazil, Croatia, and Cameroon, Mexico faced a challenging path to the knockout stages.

Mexico began their campaign with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Cameroon, with Oribe Peralta scoring the decisive goal in the 61st minute. The match was played under rainy conditions at the Arena das Dunas in Natal, and despite two disallowed goals, Mexico’s persistence paid off. This win set a positive tone for the team’s subsequent matches.

In their second group stage match, Mexico faced Brazil in Fortaleza. The game ended in a thrilling 0-0 draw, largely thanks to an outstanding performance by goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa, who made several crucial saves to deny Brazil. Ochoa’s heroics earned him widespread acclaim and kept Mexico in strong contention for a place in the knockout rounds.

The final group match saw Mexico take on Croatia in Recife, needing at least a draw to progress. In a spirited display, Mexico triumphed 3-1, with goals from captain Rafael Márquez, Andrés Guardado, and Javier Hernández. This victory secured their place in the Round of 16, finishing second in the group behind Brazil due to goal difference.

In the knockout stage, Mexico faced the Netherlands in Fortaleza. Giovani dos Santos gave Mexico the lead with a stunning goal early in the second half. However, the Netherlands equalized through Wesley Sneijder in the 88th minute, and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar scored a controversial penalty in stoppage time to seal a 2-1 victory for the Dutch. Despite the heartbreaking exit, Mexico’s performance was lauded for its competitiveness and fighting spirit.

Throughout the tournament, Mexico’s squad featured a mix of seasoned campaigners and exciting young players. The leadership of Rafael Márquez, the creativity of Andrés Guardado, and the attacking prowess of Giovani dos Santos and Javier Hernández were instrumental in their campaign. Additionally, Guillermo Ochoa’s goalkeeping exploits became one of the standout stories of the World Cup.
