Guillermo Ochoa has been part of Mexico’s squads at six consecutive World Cup tournaments from 2006 to 2026, though he did not play a single minute in the 2006 tournament in Germany or the 2010 edition in South Africa. Because of that, FIFA initially decided he did not meet the criteria for the patch. The decision caused debate among Mexican supporters, who argued that Ochoa’s influence and contribution to Mexico’s World Cup history deserved recognition. The Mexican Football Federation (FMF) contacted FIFA regarding the situation, and the governing body eventually changed its position. Guillermo Ochoa wore the patch during the match against Czechia, officially placing him alongside some of the biggest names in football.
I have added this new patch to the original list, which can be seen here: Topps - Topps FIFA World Cup 2026 Debut Cards (02).
