Guillermo Ochoa announced his retirement from professional football, concluding a remarkable 23-year career. He confirmed his decision via social media after appearing at his sixth World Cup with Mexico this summer. Ochoa joins Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo as only the third player to be named in six World Cup squads. He earned 153 caps for Mexico, with his final international appearance coming in a 3-0 victory over Czechia. Ochoa also became the oldest player to represent Mexico in a World Cup match at 40 years and 346 days. Mexico's World Cup campaign ended in the last 16 following a 3-2 loss to England. Ochoa expressed profound gratitude, stating he takes "the affection of millions" and the "peace of mind of having given everything for Mexico." His extensive club career included stints with Club America, Malaga, Standard Liege, and AEL Limassol.
