There are plenty of familiar faces from both the Concacaf W Qualification Tournament as well as the recent microciclo, however there were a couple of surprises on the roster. Katie Johnson hasn’t represented México since 2019, and players like Cinthya Peraza, Belén Cruz, Mariana Cadena, and Reyna Reyes not representing at all in 2022.
The team has a large population of players in Liga MX Femenil, which is a testament to the league that has helped raise the profile of women’s soccer in the country. It may also help as the players will be mostly rested after the summer break but will also have some games under their belt both with the league as well as a pair of friendlies at the end of the month against Perú.
The full preliminary rosters for all six nations are available here.
