The Mexican national team is already preparing for the upcoming CONCACAF Gold Cup, set to take place from June 14 through July 6. Head coach Javier Aguirre has unveiled a preliminary list of 59 players, from which the final 26-man squad will be selected to represent El Tri in the tournament.Teams were allowed to list up to 60 players who would become eligible for the final 26, which must be finalized by no later than June 4. Aguirre opted to include 59 for Mexico.Among the notable names on the long list is Hirving "Chucky" Lozano, who returns after missing previous matches due to an injury sustained while playing for San Diego FC. The attacking lineup also features Santiago Giménez and Raúl Jiménez, both of whom have been standout performers with their European clubs.However, Aguirre faces a significant challenge ahead of the tournament. Due to scheduling conflicts with the FIFA Club World Cup - running from June 14 to July 13 - players from Pachuca, Monterrey, and possibly Club América (should they qualify) may not be available for national duty. Clubs are expected to hold onto their top talent to ensure full-strength squads for the international competition.Interestingly, despite this overlap, the Mexican Football Federation included several América players in the preliminary Gold Cup roster. In total, seven América players were named, even though they may be unavailable if Las Águilas secure a Club World Cup berth.América will play a decisive “play-In” match against LAFC on May 31, aiming for the final spot in the expanded Club World Cup. Should the team advance, its players would likely miss the entire Gold Cup campaign. Names such as Guillermo Ochoa, Henry Martín, and Hirving Lozano - who have occasionally been left out of recent final call-ups - feature on the preliminary list.Of those three, veteran goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa could be a late addition if América’s Luis Ángel Malagón travels with his club to the World Cup. Aguirre has reportedly kept close tabs on Lozano’s performance in MLS this season.

WHAT HAPPENED?

THE PRELIMINARY SQUAD IN FULL

Mexico will look to defend the Gold Cup crown it claimed in 2023. El Tri remains the most successful team in the tournament’s history, having lifted the trophy nine times since the competition was rebranded as the Gold Cup in 1991.Before that, from 1963 to 1989, the tournament was known as the CONCACAF Championship, during which Mexico secured three additional titles. In total, that gives El Tri a record 12 regional championships, making them the undisputed kings of CONCACAF.
