Guillermo Ochoa, the goalkeeper of the Cypriot football club "AEL Limassol", made an emotional post while joining the training camp of the Mexican national team before the World Cup.
İdman.Biz reports that the 40-year-old goalkeeper stated that the 2026 World Cup will be his last tournament for the national team. Ochoa wrote on social media that wearing the Mexican jersey has never been normal for him, but rather a privilege.
The experienced goalkeeper emphasized in his post that he started the camp this time with different feelings. He noted that he is with the Mexican national team with a fuller heart, more memories, and the same hopes as before.
Ochoa has been playing for the Mexican national team since 2005 and has played more than 150 games for the team. "Sports Illustrated" writes that if the goalkeeper participates in the 2026 World Cup, he will appear in his sixth World Cup and may join Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in this indicator.
The Mexican national team camp started on May 6. Initially, 20 football players from the Mexican championship joined the preparation under the leadership of head coach Javier Aguirre. Ochoa was the first legionnaire to join the camp.
Ochoa will compete with Raul Rangel for a place in the main squad at the 2026 World Cup. However, his experience, reputation and status in the history of the tournament keep his chances of making the final squad high.
