The Mexican National Team announced its squad of 28 players to compete in the quarterfinals of the 2026 Concacaf Nations League, under the technical direction of Rafael Márquez. Among the main new additions are Armando León, a forward for NK Osijek of Croatia; Santiago Sandoval, from Chivas; Andrés Montaño, from Cruz Azul, and Óscar García, a goalkeeper for León. The returns of Jesús “Tecatito” Corona, Julián Quiñones, and Gilberto Mora also stand out.

In terms of absences, names like Raúl Jiménez, Edson Álvarez, Luis Chávez, and Henry Martín are notable for not appearing on the list. Conversely, Márquez is betting on a combination of experience and youth, with players such as Santiago Giménez, Armando “Hormiga” González, Obed Vargas, Mateo Chávez, and Gilberto Mora, in addition to players competing abroad. The squad is comprised of three goalkeepers, nine defenders, eight midfielders, and eight forwards.
