The World Cup must have him.
"Guillermo Ochoa," the experienced goalkeeper, may guard the goal for Mexico in the 2026 World Cup.
Mexico received bad news ahead of the upcoming 2026 World Cup when Angel Malagon, their first-choice goalkeeper, suffered a torn Achilles tendon—a severe injury expected to sideline him for several months.
This unexpected misfortune forced the Mexican team staff to reconsider their goalkeeper plans, and one name frequently mentioned is Guillermo Ochoa, a legend ready to answer the national team’s call without hesitation.
At 40 years old, Ochoa has never closed the door on playing for the national team. He is a hero of multiple World Cups, notably in 2014 and 2018, and remains one of the most outstanding goalkeepers in Mexico’s football history.
Currently playing in the Cypriot league, if Ochoa’s name appears on Mexico’s final squad list, he could play in his sixth World Cup. This achievement would place him among the players with six World Cup appearances, alongside Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
