MEXICO CITY \u2014 Mexico coach Javier Aguirre<\/a> opted Sunday for a new generation of players to use home ground advantage at the World Cup<\/a> in a bid to seek redemption after one of the worst failures for El Tri in modern times at Qatar 2022<\/a> .<\/p>

\u201cEl Vasco\u201d Aguirre, guiding the Mexican team into a World Cup for the third time, overhauled a squad that floundered in Qatar and failed to advance from the first round for the first time since 1978.<\/p>\n

He picked 13 players who weren\u2019t part of the squad four years ago. The most intriguing of them all is 17-year-old midfielder Gilberto Mora<\/a> , who could become the youngest Mexican man to appear in a World Cup.<\/p>\n

Mexico\u2019s youngest World Cup player is Manuel \u201cChaquetas\u201d Rosas, who was 18 years, 88 days when he played in the inaugural 1930 World Cup.<\/p>\n

Brazil great Pele is among the seven players who have contested a World Cup at age 17 \u2014 the youngest of them all was Northern Ireland\u2019s Norman Whiteside in 1982 in Spain.<\/p>\n

Depending on when Mora makes his World Cup debut \u2014 Mexico opens against South Africa on June 11 \u2014 he would become the sixth or seventh on the international all-time list for youngest players at the tournament.<\/p>\n

Among the veterans returning after the disappointment of Qatar 2022 is goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa, who has been picked in a World Cup squad for the sixth time.<\/p>

Although Ochoa, who made his World Cup debut in 2006, has only played in three World Cups and is currently considered the backup to starter Ra\u00fal Rangel.<\/p>\n

After taking on South Africa at the Azteca stadium, Mexico will face South Korea in Guadalajara and close out the first round against Czechia on June 24.<\/p>\n

Mexico, on a seven-match unbeaten streak, has one more World Cup warmup match against Serbia.<\/p>\n
