Key Personnel
Guillermo Ochoa is the most-capped goalkeeper for the Mexican national team and holds the record at his club, Club America, for playing the most games without conceding a goal. Ochoa spent three seasons with French club Ajaccio before being named Mexico’s starting goalkeeper for the 2014 World Cup.
His curly hair and headband made him instantly recognizable. In that year, he earned praise for almost single-handedly holding Brazil at bay to help his team earn a crucial 0-0 draw.
