FMF decided to look for work for its youth teams after this generation was left without qualifications for Olympic Games Paris 2024.
The goal is for some of these players to develop and integrate a roster for the next World Cup that Mexico will host alongside the United States and Canada in 2026.
Among the outstanding youth football players in Mexico there are two who play in the second division of Spain, Marcelo Flores19-year-old Real Oviedo midfielder. Jordan Carrillo21-year-old winger from Sporting de Gijon.
Mexicans were left without visiting Paris 2024 when they had to Guatemala in the last qualifying round of the Concacaf Sub-20.
