Toluca, coached by Antonio Mohamed, announced its main goal for the season: winning the Intercontinental Cup in Qatar. The club qualified after beating Tigres in the Concacaf Champions Cup final, and the manager made his ambition to add that title to the Mexican side's cabinet clear.

How did Toluca reach the Intercontinental?

The 2‑1 victory over Tigres on June 5 secured the rojiblanco's spot in the tournament that will gather continental champions. In Qatar, Paris Saint‑Germain (Champions League winners), Al‑Ahli (AFC Elite Champions) and Mamelodi Sundowns (African champions) are already confirmed. CONMEBOL and Oceania are still deciding their entrants. Mohamed invoked club legends like José Saturnino Cardozo, saying he wants to match their achievements.

What does this goal mean for Mohamed's project?

The Argentine, already boasting a Liga MX bicampeonato, a Concachampions, a Campeones Cup and a Campeón de Campeones, sees the Intercontinental as a chance to close a cycle. “We hope to prepare ourselves to be worthy,” he said, aiming for Toluca to become the first Mexican team to lift the trophy. The project keeps growing under his leadership, with a squad that has scored 28 goals and conceded 16, a +12 goal difference.

What is the current Liga MX situation?

Toluca sits 5th with 30 points, coming from 8 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses in 17 games. The last result was a 2‑0 loss to CF Pachuca on May 10, 2026, and recent form shows a streak of 1 win and 4 defeats (LLLLW, the win being the most recent). The team trails league leaders U.N.A.M. – Pumas by 6 points, keeping the title within reach if the slump ends.

What’s next for Toluca?

The next fixture is a home friendly against Seattle Sounders on August 6, 2026, intended as preparation for the international challenge. Mohamed trusts the experience gained in the Liga MX group stage and the Concachampions will be key against European and African giants in Qatar. Fans hope the club, with its history and new momentum, can write an unprecedented chapter in world football.
