🇲🇽 Mexico erupts: FMF ultimatum to Liga MX players | OneFootball

The Mexican Football Federation (FMF) has unleashed an internal storm after sending an ultimatum to the players called up by Javier Aguirre.

According to the official statement, any footballer who does not join the Mexican National Team camp today will be left out of the final World Cup squad, regardless of status or current form.

The controversy has escalated to critical levels because several of those called up are currently playing in the Liga MX playoffs.

The affected clubs have expressed their concern, as the "Tri" coaching staff is demanding the immediate arrival of their star players just as they are fighting for a place in the final stages of the domestic tournament.

Strict warning to the clubs

The notice from the sporting department is blunt: the meeting is set for 8:00 p.m. this Wednesday at the High Performance Center in Mexico City.

The national team coach is looking to prioritize physical and tactical preparation for the World Cup, warning that there will be no special permissions or exceptions for those with pending commitments in the final phase of the local championship.

This scheduling clash puts the footballers in an impossible situation. On one hand, the desire to fulfill their duties to their clubs in pursuit of the league title; on the other, the very real risk of seeing their World Cup dream cut short by an administrative decision from the FMF.
