Three footballers will present themselves to the Mexican national team during the September FIFA Date, and GOAL takes a close look at their call-up.
In a clear push to build a resilient and competitive squad for the 2026 World Cup, which Mexico will co-host with the United States and Canada, the national team unveiled its September roster. The fixtures will pit Mexico against strong European and African opponents as it faces Germany and Ghana.
Head coach Jaime Lozano has emphasized a plan to blend seasoned veterans with the fire and vigor of emerging players. This approach, described as “Generation Change,” aims to refresh the squad and ignite healthy competition during a tournament window hosted on North American soil.
Among the newcomers, several promising talents have stood out during the ongoing 2023 Opening season of the MX League. Names such as Julio González, the goalkeeper from UNAM Pumas, Marcel Ruiz, a midfielder with Toluca’s Red Devils, and Ramón Juárez, a defender with América, have attracted attention for their performances and potential impact at the senior level.
Next, within GOAL we examine how these new players have performed and what they might contribute to the national team in the coming years.
