Ahead of the 1998 FIFA World Cup, ABA Sport produced the now-famous Aztec print shirt for the men's side. One year later, little-known Mexican manufacturer Garcis went with a similar theme for the women's jerseys ahead of the Women's World Cup in the US. However, this subliminal print featured the crest of the Mexican Football Federation at its core.

The women's national side was making its first official appearance at a Women's World Cup - but they had featured in the unofficial 1970 World Cup, and hosted the tournament the following year, losing the final to Denmark in front of over 100,000 spectators. Faced with a tough group in '99, Mexico could not replicate that success, losing to Brazil, Germany and Italy in the group stages.
