FIFA denies Ochoa the LEGACY badge | OneFootball

Guillermo Ochoa is not considered by FIFA to be part of the select “Legacy” club, and it decided not to award him the distinctive patch for players who have played in five to six World Cups.  

Paco Memo was called up for: Germany 2006, South Africa 2010, Brazil 2014, Russia 2018, Qatar 2022, and United 2026; however, he only saw action in three of them. 

According to FIFA regulations, a player will be considered to have participated in six World Cups only if he took the field for at least one minute. For that reason, he cannot sit at the table with players like Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. 

The decision by football’s top governing body is dividing opinions, but tell me, would you give him the patch?
