Overview
- The veteran goalkeeper turned up at the Centro de Alto Rendimiento in Mexico City to record commercials tied to the 2026 campaign despite not being on Javier Aguirre’s current list.
- Luis Ángel Malagón shared a photo with Ochoa in the new pink goalkeeper jersey, and Ochoa posted an image of a shirt bearing his No. 13.
- Aguirre has omitted Ochoa from recent call-ups, selecting Malagón, Raúl Rangel and Carlos Acevedo for the last two FIFA windows.
- Media note that appearing in promotional materials is not proof of selection, citing Santiago Giménez’s 2022 inclusion in ads before missing the final World Cup squad.
- Mexico will play Uruguay and Paraguay in this window, and neither the federation nor Aguirre has officially addressed Ochoa’s promotional appearance.
