Zoé Sánchez and Citlali Reyes Prepare for U-17 World Cup Debut

On October 6, 2026, it was officially announced that Zoé Sánchez and Citlali Reyes will represent the Rayadas U-19 team at the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Morocco. The Mexican U-17 Women’s National Team is gearing up for this prestigious tournament, and the inclusion of these two talented players from Club de Fútbol Monterrey underscores the strength of the team.

Under the guidance of head coach Miguel Gamero, both Sánchez and Reyes have been called up to compete in this international arena, reflecting their hard work and dedication. The Mexican squad secured their place in the World Cup by finishing first in Group C during the CONCACAF Qualifiers, achieving victories over teams such as Costa Rica, Panama, and Jamaica.

Last year, in 2025, Mexico showcased an impressive performance by clinching third place in the U-17 Women’s World Cup, where Zoé Sánchez was instrumental in representing Monterrey. This year, the tournament will follow a new annual format set by FIFA for women's U-17 competitions, allowing for more frequent opportunities for young athletes to shine on the global stage.

Fans and supporters are encouraged to rally behind Citlali and Zoé as they embark on this exciting journey at the World Cup. The schedule for Mexico's matches is as follows:

  • Spain vs. Mexico on October 19 at 9:00 AM at the Women’s Football Complex - Pitch 2 in Rabat, Morocco.
  • Chile vs. Mexico on October 19 at 12:00 PM at the Women’s Football Complex - Pitch 1 in Rabat, Morocco.
  • Mexico vs. Australia on October 25 at 9:00 AM at the Women’s Football Complex - Pitch 1 in Rabat, Morocco.
