Mexican National Team: How much money did they take home for winning the 2025 Gold Cup?

The Mexican national team was crowned champion of the 2025 Gold Cup after defeating the United States 2-1 at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. With this victory, the Mexican team claimed its tenth title in CONCACAF 's most important tournament , breaking a losing streak in finals against the North American team , which had won the last four finals between the two, both in the Nations League and in previous editions of the Gold Cup.

Coach Javier Aguirre added another crown to his personal record by winning his second regional title, curiously also against the United States, just as he did in 2009 when Mexico won 5-0 in New Jersey. In this edition, El Tri reflected this with a performance that included 10 goals scored and only three conceded throughout the tournament .

Mexico played six matches in total: three in the group stage against the Dominican Republic, Suriname, and Costa Rica, where they achieved two wins and one draw. In the knockout stage, they defeated Saudi Arabia 2-0 in the quarterfinals, beat Honduras 1-0 in the semifinals, and finally defeated their bitter rivals to lift the trophy. César Montes stood out as the team's top scorer with three goals, while Edson Álvarez was recognized with the tournament's Ballon d'Or .

In addition to the title, the Mexican national team received a prize money of four million dollars , an increase following the recent revaluation of the tournament by CONCACAF. With this successful conclusion, the national team begins its preparations for the 2026 World Cup, with friendlies already confirmed against Japan and South Korea on September 6 and 9, respectively.
