Guillermo Ochoa

Francisco Guillermo Ochoa Magaña (Spanish pronunciation: [ɡiˈʝeɾmo oˈtʃo.a]; born 13 July 1985), commonly known as Memo Ochoa, is a Mexican professional football goalkeeper. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest Mexican goalkeepers of all time, best known for his performances in international tournaments.

A Mexican international since 2005, Ochoa received his first cap at age 20 in a friendly match against Hungary. He has been included in the squads for six FIFA World Cups. He has also appeared at two FIFA Confederations Cups, two Olympic tournaments, two Copas América, one Toulon Tournament, one CONCACAF Pre-Olympic Tournament, four CONCACAF Nations Leagues, seven CONCACAF Gold Cups, and was originally in the 2011 Gold Cup squad before being suspended due to false doping allegations. With six Gold Cup titles, he is the most successful player in the history of the competition. On 30 April 2026, Ochoa revealed that he is to retire from professional football after the conclusion of Mexico's run at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Guillermo Ochoa made his debut with América during the Clausura 2004 tournament against Monterrey, being only 18 years old when called up by head coach Leo Beenhakker. Ochoa quickly demonstrated his skill and talent in goal, and the young goalkeeper was thrust into the spotlight to replace injured veteran Adolfo Ríos. He would then share the starting job with Ríos after he recovered from his aforementioned injury. At the conclusion of his first season, he won the Rookie of the Tournament award.
