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.

Since its opening in 2009, AT&T Stadium and North Texas have become a second home for the Mexican National Team. The Tricolor have played eight games at the home of the Dallas Cowboys - a facility Mexico inaugurated – and have enjoyed a winning record of 6-1-1 and an average of nearly 80,000 fans in five MexTour matches at the stadium. 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.
