A free agent since May, Ochoa is pursuing European contracts to ensure he meets Mexico coach Javier Aguirre’s playing-minute threshold for a potential sixth World Cup selection.

Overview

  • Robert Dante Siboldi labeled reports linking Ochoa to Mazatlán FC as “rumors” and insisted the club is content with its current goalkeeper roster.
  • The 40-year-old shot-stopper left AVS Futebol SAD after May 17 and remains without a club ahead of the 2025–26 season.
  • Ochoa has offered himself to teams in Portugal, Spain, France and Belgium and has expressed a clear preference to continue his career in Europe.
  • Mexico coach Javier Aguirre has indicated he will only select Ochoa for the 2026 World Cup if he maintains regular starts at club level.
  • Mazatlán’s existing options—including Ricardo Gutiérrez, Víctor Alcaraz, Ricardo Rodríguez and prospect Ángel Leyva—diminish the need for an external veteran signing.
