The Mexico national football team - the "Aztecas" - is the national team of Mexico and is controlled by the Federación Mexicana de Fútbol Asociación. In the 1990s they dominated the other CONCACAF sides, but surprising wins by Canada and the United States in the 2000 and 2002 Gold Cups respectively, and Mexico's dismissal by the United States in Round 2 of the 2002 World Cup, may signal a new era of parity on the continental football scene.
Although Mexico has made 11 World Cups, they did not have much success on the global stage. They only made the quarterfinals twice, in 1970 and 1986, both times when they hosted the tournament. They were suspened for 1990 competition for falsifying players' ages at a youth championship.
