The main Mexican team is currently at the Confederations Cup in Russia, where they will be competing in the semi final on Thursday against Germany.
This has resulted in the Mexican Football Federation having to resort to calling up a second team to form an alternative El Tri against the Black Stars.
The team has been preparing for the last two weeks under Profesor Luis Pompilio Páez, technical assistant to Head Coach Juan Carlos Osorio.
It's a busy month for the Mexicans, who will also be competing at the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup which kicks off July 7 in the United States.
