Mexico to Announce 2026 World Cup Squad on May 27 Under Javier Aguirre
As co-hosts of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Mexico aims to restore its global football prominence following a disappointing group stage exit in 2022. Head coach Javier Aguirre is scheduled to announce the final El Tri squad on Wednesday, May 27, 2026. In accordance with FIFA regulations, the roster will consist of 23 to 26 players, including at least three goalkeepers. Teams were required to submit provisional lists by May 11, with final submissions due by May 30. Player replacements due to injury or illness are permitted up to 24 hours before Mexico's opening match against South Africa on June 11 in Mexico City, though goalkeeper substitutions can occur at any stage with FIFA approval. The national team has established its training hub at the High Performance Centre in Mexico City, where domestic-based players began preparations on May 6. International players will join the camp after concluding their club seasons. This tournament marks a critical opportunity for Mexico to return to the knockout stages, ending a period of uncertainty for the CONCACAF nation.
