Richard Ledezma, Brian Gutiérrez, Armando González headline Mexico’s national team roster to face Iceland

Among the call-ups are Mexican-Americans Brian Gutiérrez, a former Chicago Fire player now with Chivas, who decided to represent Mexico in hopes of earning a spot on the final roster for the 2026 World Cup, and Richard Ledezma, who had previously played for the USMNT but recently chose to represent Mexico. Efraín Álvarez, also of Chivas and formerly of LA Galaxy, was also included by Javier Aguirre.

The match against Iceland is part of the national team’s preparation schedule and will allow the coaching staff to evaluate players from various Liga MX clubs. Because it's not an official FIFA international window, the coaching staff couldn't call up players who compete outside of Mexico. So, the roster is made up exclusively of Liga MX players.

Chivas contributed the most players to this roster with seven: Raúl Rangel, Richard Ledezma, Diego Campillo, Brian Gutiérrez, Efraín Álvarez, Roberto Alvarado and Armando González. América and Toluca rostered four players each.
