Mexico announces squad for Beijing Olympics qualifier
Adjust font size:

Mexico soccer coach Hugo Sanchez announced on Thursday the 24-player list that will train to seek a Beijing 2008 Olympics ticket at the qualifier to be held in the United States.

 

The qualifier, to be played under the name of the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean's (CONCACAF) Pre-Olympic soccer tournament, is slated for March 11-23.

 

Mexico plays in Group B together with Canada, Guatemala and Haiti.

 

The 24-player list presented by Sanchez includes players from 12 Mexican soccer clubs.

 

The Mexican team will not be able to include its European-based players since the Olympic qualifying tournament is not scheduled on the Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) calendar where soccer clubs are obliged to hand over the players to their national teams.

 

Sanchez will work with the 24 players from January 27 in Cancun's beach resort of southeastern Mexico.
