Mexico threatens to kick players off World Cup team in latest spat with Liga MX clubs

The Mexico Football Federation (FMF) has warned Liga MX players that they will be left off the final 2026 World Cup squad if they do not report to a pre-planned World Cup camp on May 6, despite it taking place outside of a designated FIFA international window and during some of the most important matches on the club calendar. In a Wednesday morning press release, the FMF said that per the national team staff’s direction “any player who does not turn up at the (national team’s) training center will miss the World Cup.”Advertisement
