10 Oldest Footballers Called Up For World Cup 2018
5. Jose De Jesus Corona (37) - Mexico
Mexico have a few very talented keepers to choose from, with José de Jesús Corona more than earning his spot on the plane, despite his advanced age. He was the second-choice keeper for his country back at the 2014 World Cup, with the number one stopper, Guillermo Ochoa, proving to be one of the best keepers of the tournament.
Ochoa is back again this year but Corona will be pushing him for the starting role, having performed well in a recent friendly against Iceland. With 51 caps under his belt and some very impressive trophies to his name, including a CONCACAF Champions League medal and an Olympic gold medal from London 2012, Corona is a highly accomplished keeper who never settles for second place.
He knows this will be his last big tournament for Mexico and he'll surely be working very hard in training to try and earn a start when Mexico's tournament begins against Germany on 17 June. He'll have to work hard to oust Ochoa, but it wouldn't be the biggest surprise to see him making an appearance this summer.
