The Mexican Football Federation (Federación Mexicana de Fútbol Asociación) just released the roster for their first matchup of the year, a friendly in Las Vegas vs. an Iceland side that were the fan favorites of Euro 2016.
Not surprisingly, Giovani dos Santos was called up by manager Juan Carlos Osorio. Hopefully Gio can shake off the pre-season rust and earn some playing time.
A defender nuestros colores con #PasiónyOrgullo.
¡Ya está la primera convocatoria del año!
