The history of Czech Republic versus Mexico is curious and short, with the two nations meeting on the international stage just once, with the Europeans picking up the victory at the beginning of the 21st century.

Narodak and El Tri were both participants in the 2000 Lunar New Year Cup - known at the time as the Carlsberg Cup for sponsorship reasons - a competition created to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

The tournament ran from February 5 to February 8 and consisted of four competing sides, with Mexico and Czech Republic joined by a Hong Kong League XI and Japan for matches at Hong Kong Stadium.

The two sides clashed in the final on the last day of the tournament, with goals from Michal Kolomaznik and Pavel Verbir securing a piece of silverware for Narodak in a narrow 2-1 success.
