One of three host nations, Mexico has high hopes for the World Cup after coming off a 2-0 victory against South Africa. With Javier Aguirre coaching in his last tournament as Mexico’s manager, Mexico legend Rafa Márquez is set to replace him after the World Cup.

“His [Márquez] contract is signed and his staff is nearly 80 percent set,” Mexico Football Federation sporting director Duilio Davino said. “Andrés (Guardado) is an option (to join Rafa’s staff). Off the pitch, Márquez is a (big) personality. On the pitch today, as both an assistant and a coach, Rafa is the way he was as a player. He transforms inside a dressing room.”

That said, here’s a full list of Mexico’s squad and the clubs represented by each of the 26 players competing in the World Cup.

Julián Quiñones Rejected Call-Up, Chose to Play for Mexico

For those wondering about whether Julián Quiñones was born in Mexico, that’s false. Quiñones was actually born in Magui Payán, Colombia, and rejected a call-up to play for the Colombian National Team back in 2023 and opted to play for Mexico after obtaining Mexican citizenship.

Quiñones played in Liga MX from 2016 to 2024 with several clubs until he made the move to Al Qadsiah in the Saudi Arabian Pro League in 2024. The striker enjoyed an extremely successful campaign during the 2025-26 season, scoring 33 goals with four assists.

He’ll look to continue his hot streak throughout the World Cup.
