Mexico must build on their 2025 Concacaf Nations League title to reach their peak potential come the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The Americans have plummeted all the way to fourth in the index -- the same position as their finish in the recent Concacaf Nations League play -- in Wednesday's update. That's the lowest the U.S. has ever been in the regional index since the index was launched in 2018.

Mexico won for the first time ever a CONCACAF Nations League trophy after defeating Panama by a 2-1 score in the final. Mexico was finally able to win the tournament in their fourth try after a tough match against a Panama side that came in as the surprise of the tournament after they eliminated the United States in the final.
