Liga MX Sides Deportivo Toluca FC and CF Monterrey Accept Invitations to 2026 Gordon Jago Super Group

DALLAS, Texas (Thursday, Feb. 12) – Dallas Cup, the oldest and most prestigious international youth soccer tournament in North America, has announced that Liga MX sides Deportivo Toluca FC and CF Monterrey have accepted invitations to compete in the Gordon Jago Super Group at the 2026 Dallas Cup presented by Coca-Cola.

Toluca will make its first appearance at Dallas Cup arriving as the top-ranked club in the Concacaf region. The back-to-back Liga MX champions captured both the Clausura 2025 and Apertura 2025 titles and currently lead the Concacaf Club Rankings, opening 2026 as the highest-rated team in the confederation. One of Mexico’s most successful institutions, Toluca has claimed 12 Liga MX championships, two Copa MX titles, and five Campeón de Campeones honors, while continuing to field one of the league’s most competitive youth academies.

Joining them is one of the most historic participants in Dallas Cup history. CF Monterrey returns for its 23rd Super Group appearance, continuing a long-standing relationship with the tournament that dates back to the inception of the Super Group in 1990. Rayados have consistently competed at the highest level of the competition, reaching the championship final in 2015 and 2017 and advancing to five semifinals since 2015. The club has won 16 Dallas Cup titles across other age divisions and remains in pursuit of its first Super Group championship.

Four-time Super Group champions Tigres UANL and Pumas UNAM remain the only Liga MX sides to hoist the Super Group Boot & Ball trophy since the elite bracket’s creation. Toluca and Monterrey will look to add their names to that list this spring.

The additions further strengthen the 2026 Gordon Jago Super Group, which already features Premier League sides Aston Villa and Crystal Palace, defending Super Group champions Botafogo, four-time Super Group champions São Paulo FC, and MLS academy representatives Philadelphia Union and Real Salt Lake. A total of 12 elite teams from leading clubs and national federations worldwide will compete for the iconic Boot & Ball trophy.

The 2026 Dallas Cup presented by Coca-Cola will be played March 29 through April 5 in the Greater Dallas area. Additional team announcements will continue in the lead-up to the tournament as the field takes shape for another unforgettable edition of the competition.
