Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

El Tri — The entry states Mexico's first match was on 9 December 1923, but the widely accepted first match was on 1 January 1923.

El Tri — The entry states Mexico has qualified for the World Cup eighteen times, but as of current canon it is 17 times.

La 12 — The entry describes La Doce as a supporters group of the Mexico National Team, but La Doce is actually the barra brava of Boca Juniors, an Argentine club, not affiliated with the Mexico National Team.

La 12 — The tagline 'The 12th player of Boca Juniors' contradicts the stated affiliation with the Mexico National Team; the group is associated with Boca Juniors, not the Mexican national side.

Estadio Olímpico Universitario — The entry states original capacity as 69,000 in the DID YOU KNOW section, but the correct original capacity is approximately 72,000 (or 70,000).

Estadio Olímpico Universitario — The DID YOU KNOW section claims the 1985 tunnel crush resulted in 11 deaths, but the widely reported number is 10 deaths.

Bora Milutinović Era — Mexico lost to West Germany in the 1986 World Cup quarter-finals on penalty kicks after a 0-0 draw, not as a regular loss on penalties as implied.

Bora Milutinović Era — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section incorrectly states that Milutinović's record of managing five different national teams at five consecutive World Cups is tied with Carlos Alberto Parreira and Carlos Queiroz; Parreira managed five World Cups but with only three diffe

1986 Mexico World Cup — The captain of the 1986 Mexico National Team was not Tomás Boy; the captain was Hugo Sánchez.

1998 France World Cup — The claim that France was the sixth nation to win the World Cup on home soil is incorrect; it was the seventh nation to win the World Cup overall and the sixth to win on home soil.

1998 France World Cup — The claim that 'Through 2026, France remains the most recent team to win the tournament on home soil' is incorrect; Germany won the 2014 World Cup on home soil, making Germany the most recent host nation winner before 2026.

1992 CONCACAF Championship — The coach's name is incorrect. The correct coach of Mexico during the 1992 CONCACAF Championship was Miguel Mejía Barón, not 'Miguel Mejía Barajas'.

1992 CONCACAF Championship — The 1992 CONCACAF Championship did not serve as direct qualification for the 1994 FIFA World Cup. Mexico qualified automatically as the host nation of the 1994 World Cup, not through this tournament.

Rafael Márquez Captaincy — Márquez participated in four consecutive FIFA World Cup tournaments (2002, 2006, 2010, 2014), not just 2006, 2010, 2014 as listed.

Rafael Márquez Captaincy — The Captaincy Era listed as 'Late 2000s – 2014' is imprecise; Márquez first captained Mexico in the 2002 World Cup and was the regular captain from around 2006 onward, and his captaincy extended beyond 2014 (he captained in 2018 as well).
