Overview
- Mexico's federation announced FIFA has confirmed the pair's eligibility, publishing the approval in an official communiqué and tweet.
- Both players are available for this week's friendlies against Panama and Bolivia under coach Javier Aguirre.
- Ledezma featured for the United States at the 2019 U-20 World Cup and Gutiérrez played two U.S. senior friendlies in January 2025, none of which cap-tied them.
- FIFA's platform lists Ledezma's change of association dated January 20, 2026, while reports say Gutiérrez secured clearance following administrative steps after his U.S. friendlies.
- The Chivas teammates joined Mexico's training camp awaiting the ruling, and the approval positions them for future call-ups as World Cup preparations advance.
