World Cup cult hero set to join Messi and Ronaldo in making history at tournament

Ochoa set for sixth World Cup as Mexico name squad

Goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa, 40, was named in Mexico's 26-man World Cup squad, set to become the first player in history to appear at six World Cups. The selection balances veterans (Álvarez, Jiménez) with dual nationals and a 17-year-old Gilberto Mora, reflecting Mexico's broader talent pipeline strategy as co-host of the June 11–July 19 tournament.
