The wait is over. Carlos Acevedo is back wearing the Mexican National Team jersey and will do so for the first time under the leadership of Javier ‘Vasco’ Aguirre, who included him in the squad for the upcoming October FIFA Date.
The Santos Laguna goalkeeper, who had been off the national radar for over a year due to injuries and internal competition, returns with strength and motivation.
His return marks a new stage of competition in the Tricolor goal, where he will seek to earn a spot heading into the 2026 World Cup.
With his leadership, reflexes, and character within the area, the Laguna goalkeeper will try to convince the coaching staff that he can be one of the key pieces in the process towards the World Cup.
Acevedo’s call-up also responds to Aguirre’s desire to strengthen internal competition in every position, especially in a goal where names like Malagón and Rangel are also looking to establish themselves.
