NEW YORK CITY & MEXICO CITY (Wednesday, April 7, 2021) – MexTour, the Mexican National Team's immensely popular annual tour of the United States, returns in 2021 with an opening match on Sunday, May 30 at Arlington's AT&T Stadium against Iceland – presented by AT&T. In all, the Federación Mexicana de Fútbol (FMF) and Soccer United Marketing (SUM) today announced it will stage a minimum of five matches in the States, with opponents, dates, and locations for the other four events to be announced.

The 2021 match is being played as part of a four-year agreement – now in its third year - with the Dallas Cowboys (NFL), FC Dallas (MLS), and the Dallas Sports Commission. The week-long celebration also includes the award-winning social responsibility initiative "Copa Kin: Read to Win," a month-long reading initiative implemented across several of the largest school districts in the Dallas Metroplex.

Mexico has faced 2018 FIFA World Cup participant Iceland four times, winning two matches and drawing two. The two teams last played each other on March 23, 2018 at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, CA, with Mexico coming out on top 3-0.
