The farewell of a legend

In an interview with TUDN, Ochoa shared that, after the 2026 World Cup, he will retire definitively from soccer. Despite the difficulty of the decision, the goalkeeper appears calm and prepared for this new chapter in his life, emphasizing that he has fully enjoyed his sports career.

Possible call-ups by 'El Vasco' Aguirre

Javier 'El Vasco' Aguirre still has room to include players who play abroad in the final list for the 2026 World Cup. Among the names strongly rumored are Raúl Jiménez, Santiago Giménez, Johan Vásquez, Obed Vargas, Álvaro Fidalgo, Germán Berterame, Orbelín Pineda, and Mateo Chávez. However, some players like Rodrigo Huescas, César 'Chino' Huerta, and Edson Álvarez remain in doubt due to ongoing recovery from injuries.
