Guillermo Ochoa

Uncertain to play in farewell WC

Ochoa is expected to serve as a backup option for Mexico in the 2026 World Cup, which will mark the end of his career.

Analysis: Ochoa is reportedly nearing retirement following an underwhelming season with AEL Limassol in Cyprus, where he saved 58 percent of the shots on target he faced. The 40-year-old goalkeeper last featured for the national team in November 2024 and has since occupied a backup role behind Jose Rangel. Even so, the veteran will likely push to make at least one group-stage start at the World Cup as he looks to put the finishing touch on a solid international career, and he could see additional action if he shows convincing form in training.
