Guillermo Ochoa Becomes First Footballer Selected for Six FIFA World Cups

Guillermo Ochoa Becomes First Footballer Selected for Six FIFA World CupsPreviousNext

Guillermo Ochoa has made history by becoming the first footballer selected for six FIFA World Cup tournaments, spanning from 2006 to 2026. While he was Mexico's starting goalkeeper in the 2014, 2018, and 2022 editions, he did not play in 2006 and 2010. For Mexico's 2026 opener against South Africa, coach Javier Aguirre chose Raul Rangel as goalkeeper, leaving Ochoa out of the starting lineup. Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are also contenders for their sixth World Cup appearances.
