Guillermo Ochoa, one of the most iconic goalkeepers in Mexican football history, will retire immediately after the 2026 World Cup, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Ochoa, 40, will become one of the very few players, alongside Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, to appear in six World Cups. He debuted for Mexico at Germany 2006 and famously saved a penalty from Robert Lewandowski in Qatar 2022.
During his 22-year club career, Ochoa played in France, Spain, Belgium, Italy, and Portugal. He currently plays for AEL Limassol in Cyprus.
"It could be the end for me after the World Cup," Ochoa told TUDN. "You reach a point when your head and body tell you you've given it your all."
Coach Javier Aguirre will announce the final squad on June 1. Ochoa is expected to be one of the team's captains.
The tournament, co-hosted by the U.S., Mexico, and Canada, runs from June 11 to July 19.
