Mexico won Group A after two victories and will play the Czech Republic, who need a victory to stand any chance of going through to the last 32 of the FIFA World Cup 2026.
The 40-year-old Ochoa was added to Mexico’s roster for this year’s World Cup, the record sixth in the career of the player known as “Memo.” Ochoa has announced he’s retiring following the World Cup, but has yet to see the field, serving as backup to Raúl Rangel. He’s expected to get a chance to play against Czech Republic Wednesday in Mexico City.
Ochoa will join Argentina’s Lionel Messi and Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo as the only players to appear in six World Cups.
The Czech Republic likely needs a win to have any hope of advancing to the round of 32.
