Mexico 86 (2026) | Official Overview & Synopsis
Go behind closed doors into the high-stakes, chaotic scramble that brought the world’s biggest sporting event back to Latin America. Directed by Gabriel Ripstein, Mexico 86 stars Diego Luna as Martín de la Torre, an ambitious, mid-level soccer bureaucrat stuck in the corporate doldrums. When Colombia withdraws from hosting the 1986 FIFA World Cup, Martín seizes the moment to pull off the ultimate gamble: navigating ruthless media titans, corrupt international federations, and intense political backroom dealings to make Mexico the last-minute host against all odds. Blending sharp political satire with gripping boardroom drama, the film pulls back the curtain on the ambition, egos, and sheer willpower driving the business of football.
