With Chaves 'narrating' video, Mexico are called up for World Cup | OneFootball

Roberto Gómez Bolaños was the creative mind behind classics such as El Chavo del Ocho and El Chapulín Colorado.

And the voice of the Mexican actor, comedian, screenwriter, and director, who died in 2014 at the age of 85, was brought to "life" through artificial intelligence to narrate the video announcing Mexico’s World Cup squad.

The "ageless" Ochoa, now 40 and playing in Cyprus, is heading to the sixth World Cup of his career.

He will share the record with Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. 

As one of the host countries alongside the United States and Canada, El Tri will play the opening match of the tournament against South Africa on the 11th.

South Korea and the Czech Republic complete Group A.

Check out the video and, below, the list of the 26 players called up by Javier Aguirre.
