The arrival of Edson Alvarez (Fenerbahce) is undoubtedly the most anticipated news.
After overcoming a complicated ankle injury that kept him in cotton wool in Turkey, the captain arrives with the objective of recovering his maximum rhythm for the debut.
Alongside him, Jorge Sanchez (PAOK) comes up to shield the right wing, reaffirming that, despite the ups and downs in Greece, he continues to be an unconditional part of “Vasco’s” scheme.
The great surprise and hope of the fans is Mateo Chávez.
At 22 years of age, the youth player who shines for AZ Alkmaar in the Netherlands is emerging as the great revelation of this process.
His consistency in the Eredivisie has catapulted him as Mexico’s “ace up their sleeve” for this summer.

All this effort has a single goal: the opening match of the 2026 World Cup against South Africa at the legendary Azteca Stadium.
With the incorporation of the Europeans, “Vasco” Aguirre begins to put together the definitive puzzle to avoid surprises and make the home advantage count at the Coloso de Santa Ursula.
Do you think Edson Álvarez will be 100% after his injury or should Aguirre try someone else in the midfield?
