Mexico FMF Issues Ultimatum to Liga MX Players

The Mexican Football Federation warned domestic players that missing the 6‑May training camp in Mexico City will result in exclusion from the World Cup squad. A 20‑player list was announced, with 12 already secured a roster spot.

The FMF has issued an ultimatum to Liga MX players: attend the mandatory training camp in Mexico City or face removal from the 2026 World Cup squad. The camp starts 6 May, outside FIFA’s international window, and clashes with league play‑offs and Champions Cup matches. Players must report by 8 pm local time (03:00 BST) on 7 May. Of the 20 selected, 12 have already secured World Cup places. The federation’s decision comes amid disputes over player releases for club competitions, with clubs like Toluca and Chivas voicing concerns over the timing and adherence to agreements. bettingx.club
