The Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldoone or perhaps the greatest world reference in current soccer would be playing at the Nemesio Diez stadium in Toluca, if the Mexican Soccer Federation manages to finalize the contracting of the match preparation against Portugal and include it in its agenda for 2025, as confirmed by Azteca Deportes.

According to the details that said Mexican television network was announced, The directors of the so-called Tricolor would have managed to organize a preparation duel against the Portuguese national team led by none other than the former Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus figure and who currently plays for Al-Nassr FC of the Saudi Professional League

For more information about this great possibility, The duel would take place at the Nemesio Diez stadium, headquarters of the Red Devils of Toluca, on a date yet to be designated, but which will be during 2025 so that Portugal can take advantage of a short break in the FIFA dates that it has already defined for next year.

In this way It would be the first time that this figure of international stature visits Mexico, which, from the outset, would represent quite an event, both for the importance of the Portuguese striker himself, and for the selection of this country, which is currently highly valued in the international context.

There is no estimated date so far, but according to the calendars it cannot be ruled out that it will take place between August and October. when the activity of the different leagues is gaining pace and the FIFA dates for that period are being defined.

For nowthe closest references to Portugal in Mexico They are the presence of the Red Devils coach Renato Alves Pavia, as well as the forward João Paulo Dias Fernandes who leads the scoring of the Liga MX with eight goals followed by the Greek Giorgios Giakoumakis.

So it will be in the next few days when it will be possible to know if the managers really of the Mexican team are encouraged to bring a high-level rival and they do not come out with their pretexts of bringing a mediocre team when they preferred Valencia from Spain instead of going to play at Wembley Stadium in England against the pink team.
