The Mexican national team will play its final warm-up match at the Estadio Nemesio Díez, home of Toluca FC. Coach Javier Aguirre is expected to field the lineup that will likely start against South Africa in their World Cup opener on June 11.

Aguirre's squad enters this match undefeated in their last seven preparation games, securing five wins and two draws. However, the coaching staff faces the challenge of adjusting their strategy following the final roster cuts of Luis Ángel Malagón, Rodrigo Huescas, and Marcel Ruiz, who were not included in the final squad.

On the other side, Serbia failed to qualify for the World Cup after a challenging campaign. They finished just one point shy of a playoff spot in a group that included England, Albania, Latvia, and Andorra. Their most recent result was a 3-0 friendly loss to Cape Verde.
