Mexico played two international friendlies in November

Jaime Lozano has announced Mexico’s team for the upcoming CONCACAF Nations League matches against Honduras. This will be a two-legged quarterfinal, with the away leg to be played on 18 November and the home leg on 22nd November.

Mexico announced a first call-up for Colombian-born winger Julian Quiñones ahead of CONCACAF Nations League matches.

Along with the Club America star, Mexico coach Jaime Lozano selected familiar faces such as Feyenoord striker Santiago Giménez, Salernitana goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa, Fulham striker Raúl Jiménez and West Ham United midfielder Edson Álvarez for the November roster. 

Aiming for entry into the 2024 Copa America, Quiñones and his new international teammates will seek automatic qualification for next year’s CONMEBOL tournament with a pair of home-and-away games against Honduras on Nov. 17 and Nov. 21.
