Will Guillermo Ochoa play in the World Cup 2026? Explaining where Mexico goalie is right now, chances of El Tri call up image

There's one player who fans of Mexico's national team really are wondering about.

That's the legendary goalkeeper, Guillermo 'Memo' Ochoa.

Where is he?

And more importantly, what are the chances of him being in net at the 2026 FIFA World Cup?

Mexico is co-hosting with the United States and Canada. Fans of El Tri would love to see Ochoa on the pitch.

Will Guillermo Ochoa play in the World Cup 2026?

It's yet to be determined whether Ochoa will play at next summer's World Cup.

He will turn 41 years old in early July.

Ochoa was called up for Mexico for the 2025 Gold Cup, so at that point in time, he was still in the picture.

Goalkeepers can hang on longer in advanced age than outfield players, so there's certainly a chance.

Where is Guillermo Ochoa?

Guillermo Ochoa is currently playing in Cyprus.

He's on the roster of AEL Limassol.

Ochoa played the 2024-25 season in Portugal before moving on to Cyprus for this season.
