"Red Bull New York winger Jorge Ruvalcaba has been named to Mexico's preliminary 55-man squad ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, as selected by national team head coach Javier Aguirre. From here, Aguirre will cut the list to a final 26-man roster, due by June 1. Mexico, one of the co-hosts of the 2026 World Cup alongside the United States and Canada, opens the tournament on June 11 against South Africa at the famed Estadio Azteca."
"A pair of friendlies against Ghana on May 22 and Serbia on May 30 will help whittle things down matches that Ruvalcaba figures to be a part of. The 24-year-old winger is in his first year with New York after making the move to Major League Soccer from Pumas in Mexico. He has four goals in 12 matches, including a brace on April 22 in a 4-4 draw with DC United, and is a vital cog in Red Bull's attacking trio up front alongside 18-year-old wunderkind Julian Hall and American winger Cade Cowell."
"Ruvalcaba is just one member of Red Bull that is in contention to compete at the World Cup a testament to Major League Soccer's growing influence on the international soccer scene. Defender Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty made his debut with the Canadian national team last month, and Emil Forsberg has been a fixture with the Swedish national team for a decade, though he was not included in the side's roster for its World Cup play-off back in March."
"Goalkeeper Ethan Horvath could also be in the mix for the US national team after serving as a reserve for the Stars and Stripes at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar."
