Mexican goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa could be set to make another appearance at the 2026 World Cup, potentially even starring. If that happens, he would set a new record by appearing in six World Cups, a feat shared only with Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The 40-year-old has seen the doors of the Mexican national team reopen after the serious injury to goalkeeper Luis Angel Malagon. The 29-year-old Club America, who was considered the first choice in goal, was injured this week and, with less than three months to go before the start of the World Cup, is not expected to recover in time.
In these circumstances, Oçoa – currently part of AEL Limassol, a team ranked second in the Cypriot championship – appears as an important candidate for the Mexican national team jersey, along with Raul Rangel and Carlos Acevedo.
Ochoa's extensive international experience gives him a distinct advantage. He has played in five World Cups and has often been a key player for Mexico in the tournament. His performances have also spawned a myth on social media, with a photo of him sporting a six-fingered glove circulating for years, attributing his spectacular saves to this "anomaly" that is actually a result of his goalkeeping skills.
