The Mexican national soccer team is already looking ahead to a repeat title in the CONCACAF Gold Cup, and the team plans to use its friendly in Seattle as a steppingstone toward that goal.

Mexico will face Paraguay at CenturyLink Field on Saturday, its last game before the team heads to the 2017 Gold Cup, the regional championship of North America, Central America and the Caribbean that takes place every two years. As the defending Gold Cup champions, Mexico will begin its run for a second consecutive title July 9 in San Diego against El Salvador.
