    Notable absentees

    Mexico become the FIRST country in history to host THREE different World Cups (1970, 1986, 2026). Guillermo Ochoa, 40, joins Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as the only men to play in six World Cups. Captain Edson Álvarez returned from February ankle surgery to lead the squad. 17-year-old Gilberto Mora could become the youngest Mexican to appear at a World Cup. Twelve Liga MX players feature, including FIVE from Guadalajara — a record for the modern era. Mexico open the entire 2026 tournament against South Africa on June 11 at Estadio Azteca.
