Ochoa, who first played in 2006 and is currently without a club, is included for his crucial experience, having previously delivered star-making performances, notably his memorable save against Neymar in the 2014 World Cup. The 26-man squad, curated by Aguirre, strikes a balance between seasoned professionals like captain Edson Alvarez and striker Raul Jimenez, and promising young talents such as Guadalajara forward Armando Gonzalez and 17-year-old Gilberto Mora, who will be Mexico's youngest ever World Cup participant. Further diversifying the team are US-developed dual nationals Obed Vargas and Brian Gutierrez, alongside naturalised players Alvaro Fidalgo from Spain and Julian Quinones from Colombia, both now regular fixtures in the national setup. Mexico, who last reached the quarter-finals when hosting in 1986, will co-host this year's tournament with the United States and Canada, and will play a final warm-up match against Serbia before commencing their World Cup campaign against South Africa on 11 June.
