On the A-match day of September, the Mexican national soccer team, a strong team in North and Central America against Hong Myung-bo, announced the list of participants.

Mexico, led by head coach Javier Aguirre, unveiled the list of 26 players to play in the September match between South Korea and Japan in the United States on its official channel on the 29th (Korea time). Mexico will meet Japan first at the Oakland Coliseum in Oakland, the U.S., on September 7 and face South Korea at Geodyspark in Nashville on September 10. South Korea and Mexico played a friendly match in Austria in November 2020, with Mexico winning 3-2.

Unlike the United States, Mexico chose the best member. Fulham striker Raul Jimenez, AC Milan striker Santiago Jimenez, former Napoli winger Irving Rosano (San Diego), West Ham midfielder Edson Álvarez (currently on loan at Fenerbahce) and Genoa midfielder Yoán Vázquez will face South Korea. Raul had a relationship with Hwang Hee-chan, Santiago with Hwang In-beom, and Rosano with Kim Min-jae.

In addition, winger Diego Laines (Tigress UNAL), the best winger in the Mexican league, Roberto Alvarado (Guadalajara), and Mexico's representative midfielder Orbelin Pineda (AEK Athens) are also on the list. Striker Hermann Wertherame (Monterrey), who was born in Argentina and naturalized last year, is also on board to target the Korean goal.

On the other hand, Guillermo Ochoa (invincible), who played 151 A matches, was excluded. Ochoa is currently invincible and is looking for a new team to play in next year's World Cup. Luis Margon (America) and Raul Langhel (Guadalajara) are expected to take over the goal.

Coach Aguirre held a three-day convocation training session with 24 domestic players from the 25th to the 27th. In many ways, Mexico is a relatively more difficult team for South Korea to face. Hong Myung-bo will depart for the United States on the morning of the 1st of next month. On the 29th, key midfielder Hwang In-beom (Feyenoord) suffered a bad news as he was replaced by Seo Min-woo (Gangwon) due to a calf muscle injury.
