Actu Foot reports that Guillermo Ochoa is poised to write a new chapter in football history. He will have the opportunity to achieve a feat unmatched by any previous Mexican player, appearing for the sixth time at FIFA World Cup finals. Luis Angel Malagon’s injury has prompted selector Javier Aguirre to explore alternative goalkeeper options, with 40-year-old Ochoa emerging as a leading candidate to return to the national team.
The United States, Canada, and Mexico tournament represents Ochoa’s sixth World Cup appearance, a remarkable accomplishment in Mexican and global football. He previously participated in the competitions in 2006 and 2010, though without playing time. His appearances in 2014, 2018, and 2022 showcased his ability on the world’s biggest stage.
Only Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, two titans of the sport, will also have the chance to compete in the tournament for a sixth time this summer. This marks a significant milestone for Ochoa, solidifying his place in footballing lore.
