Mexico has named the U23 squad that will play in the 2023 Pan American games to be played in Santiago, Chile. Coach Ricardo Cadena has named the 18 member team that will take part from October 20th to November 5th. Mexico is the current bronze medalist.
The squad called up was the following:
Goalkeepers: Fernando Tapia (Queretaro), Eduardo Garcia (Chivas)
Defenders: Antonio Leone (LAFC), Mauricio Isaias (Toluca), Pablo Monroy (UNAM Pumas), Rafael Fernandez (Tijuana), Jesus Garza (Tigres), Emilio Lara (America)
Midfielders: Jordan Carrillo (Sporting de Gijon), Fidel Ambriz (Leon), Erik Lira (Cruz Azul), Raymundo Fulgencio (Tigres), Sebastian Perez Bouquet (FC Juarez) , Ramiro Arciga (Mazatlan)
Forwards: Ettson Ayon (Queretaro), Ali Avila (Monterrey), Bryan Gonzalez (Pachuca), Juan Brigido (Chivas)
With the fact that this is a non-FIFA date tournament, the national team was hampered with needing clubs permission to get the players even with the fact that since Mexico didn’t qualify to the 2024 Olympic Games, this will be the last big tournament for the U23s in this World Cup cycle.
