Mexico Drops Liga MX Players Who Skip World Cup Camp

The Mexican Football Federation (FMF) has issued a deadline for Liga MX players to report to a mandatory training camp in Mexico City. Players who miss the session will be dropped from the World Cup squad, a move that clashes with Liga MX playoffs and Concacaf Champions Cup fixtures. The FMF announced that 20 players were selected for the camp, with 12 already guaranteed a squad spot. The deadline to report is 8 p.m. local time on Thursday, May 7. The federation’s decision comes as clubs such as Toluca and Chivas de Guadalajara have requested to release players for important club matches, sparking tension with the national side. The camp begins Wednesday, May 6, and the final squad will be announced on June 1. Mexico will play warm‑up matches against Ghana, Australia and Serbia before opening the tournament against South Africa on June 11. beltedkingfisher.blog
