Goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa is poised to make history as the first Mexican player to participate in six World Cups, after being named in Javier Aguirre's squad for the upcoming tournament. At 40, Ochoa returns to the national team, where experience meets youthful promise.

Joining Ochoa are captain Edson Alvarez and seasoned striker Raul Jimenez, while young players like Guadalajara's Armando Gonzalez and 17-year-old midfielder Gilberto Mora add fresh energy. Notably, Mora is set to become the youngest player to represent Mexico at a World Cup.

Javier Aguirre has strategically included dual nationals and naturalized players, such as Alvaro Fidalgo and Julian Quinones, for the event. Mexico, co-hosting the tournament with the U.S. and Canada, launches its campaign against South Africa on June 11 at Estadio Azteca.
