The overall balance of the Rojiblancos de Selección against Bolivia and Panama | OneFootball

The international break once again served as a showcase for the strong form Guadalajara are enjoying in the Clausura 2026. In total, 8 Rojiblancos players were called up by the Selección Nacional de México for the friendly matches against Panama, on Panamanian soil, and against Bolivia in South America, confirming the growing influence Chivas has had at the start of the tournament and its consistent contribution to the national team.

Of the 8 call-ups, 7 featured in at least one of the two matches, leaving positive impressions and reaffirming that the collective work of the Rebaño is also reflected when its players wear the Tri jersey. Raúl Rangel, Richard Ledezma, Bryan González, Brian Gutiérrez, Roberto Alvarado and Armando González all logged minutes and gained international experience, while Ángel Sepúlveda was the only one who did not see action during these two fixtures.

Beyond the minutes played, the overall balance is encouraging. The Rojiblancos showed personality, commitment and footballing continuity — qualities that have been consistent for Chivas at the start of the Clausura 2026 and that were now transferred to the national team environment.

This international break also reinforces a shared objective: the fight for a place at the FIFA World Cup 2026. The 8 call-ups, like the rest of the Rojiblancos squad, know that every training session, every match and every call-up is an opportunity to continue growing and remain on the Tri’s radar on the road to the World Cup.
