Mexico FMF Issues Training Ultimatum to Liga MX Players

The Mexican Football Federation has warned domestic players that failure to attend a mandatory pre‑World Cup camp will result in exclusion from the squad, forcing clubs to choose between league commitments and national duty.

The FMF has set a deadline of 8pm on 7 May for 20 Liga MX players to report to the High‑Performance Centre in Mexico City for a training camp. Those who miss the session risk being dropped from the 2026 World Cup squad, with 12 players already guaranteed spots.

The camp clashes with Liga MX play‑offs and Concacaf Champions Cup matches, prompting clubs like Toluca and Chivas to request releases. The federation’s ultimatum underscores the priority of national team preparation over club commitments ahead of Mexico’s co‑hosted tournament. capturengo.com
