Veteran goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa is the main headliner in Mexico’s 26-man squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup that gets underway next week.
The 40-year-old will represent El Tri in a record-setting sixth World Cup after being roped back into the set-up.
Ochoa has been part of Mexico’s World Cup story since 2006 and will be on the grandest stage for his final dance before hanging up his gloves.
Javier Aguirre’s charges will be without first choice Luis Angel Malagon after his withdrawal through a torn left Achilles tendon in March which ultimately rules him out of the tournament.
On Monday morning, Aguirre announced his final squad as listed below:
