A lot of names are starting to come out after El Tri’s last game of 2021, where Mexico faced Chile National Team on a friendly match that was full of young players having their first opportunity to defend Mexico’s senior squad, including Marcelo Flores and Israel Reyes, among others.

Can Richie Ledezma play for Mexico National Team?

He played for USMNT Academy teams during his youth, and although he already debuted with the senior squad in 2020, he can still defend El Tri, as he hasn’t played on an official match yet. Ledezma recently returned to activity, after being out of the pitches for over a year as a result of a torn ACL.
