The president of Mexico, Andres Manuel Lopez Obradorasked this Thursday that they form “good footballers” in the country, after the elimination of the national team in the group stage of the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
“There is a lot of fans for so little sports development in this discipline, so what has to be done, out of respect for the people, is to train good footballers, so that schools can be created and resources are allocated for that purpose, but that corresponds to the private sector,” said the president during his morning press conference from the National Palace.
However, López Obrador reiterated his congratulations to the national team for what they showed during the World Cup competition, despite failing to qualify for the next round of the event.
I congratulated them because yesterday they played very well, very well, they gave us moments of joy, happiness, and also hope.”

El Tri won this Wednesday 2-1 against Saudi Arabia and despite this was left out of the World Cup because Poland was second in Group C for the best goal difference.
Henry Martín and Luis Chávez were the tricolor scorers, while Salem Al-Dawsari was the one who discounted for the Saudis.
In Qatar 2022, Mexico saw a streak of seven World Cups cut in which they qualified consecutively to the round of 16, a mark that they only boasted with Brazil.
In addition, the fall in Qatar marked the end of the management of the Argentine Gerardo Martino as coach of Mexico, thus ending a process that began in 2019.
Martino assumed the failure of the Mexicans in Qatar 2022, in which they only scored two goals in three games, while conceding three.
