Mexico finished their MexTour of friendlies with a 0-0 tie against Ecuador, and after the match they announced they would make changes for the upcoming Concacaf Nations League matches. Mexico sent 16 players out of the roster, which all but points to those 16 players being part of the team that will be at the World Cup in Qatar. Mexico had previously announced they would have an alternate squad for the Nations League before combining both Nations League and MexTour call ups. The division of both leads to some players being given time off as a form of passing the test, while some of the players had few minutes or none at all although certain cases where of players who did have significant action in the three friendlies to mixed criticisms.
