List of players called up for the 2026 World Cup: details and dates revealed by Javier Aguirre

Less than two months before the opening of the 2026 World Cup at the Estadio Ciudad de México, Javier Aguirre is preparing to reveal the squad list for the FIFA World Cup. In this initial list, it will be unveiled whether Armando 'Hormiga' González, star forward of Chivas del Guadalajara, will be present at the 2026 World Cup.

Calling stage

Aguirre's calling will be divided into two phases, with the first one exclusive for players from the Liga MX, from April 20th to 26th. This announcement will allow Liga MX players to rest before joining the Mexican National Team's camp on May 6th for the FIFA World Cup.

Details and key dates

Duilio Davino, Director of National Teams, shared that the list of Mexican league players will be made public before that of the Europeans. The final phase of European league call-ups must respect the limit set by FIFA, which expires on May 30th.

In recent friendly matches, such as the draws against Portugal and Belgium, Aguirre has faced difficulties in assembling his core team due to injuries, with hopes of recovering several key players for the World Cup.

World Cup preparation

Davino ensured that only players with a secured spot in the World Cup will be called up, preventing them from missing the Liguilla and the opportunity to represent Mexico in the World Cup. The Tri's final preparation match will be against Serbia in Toluca on June 4th.
