Portuguese club AVS has honored Mexican goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa, calling him a "legend" as he announced his retirement from professional football. Ochoa, who played for AVS during the 2024/2025 season, was instrumental in helping the team secure its place in the top division.

Although his stint with the club was brief, Ochoa's presence was significant for his personal ambitions, as it led to his recall to the Mexican national team. The veteran goalkeeper, who turns 41, decided to hang up his gloves after a distinguished career that included playing for clubs like Club América, Málaga, and Granada.

Ochoa's international career is equally notable, having represented Mexico 154 times. His final appearance for the national team was during the 2026 World Cup, co-hosted by Mexico, the United States, and Canada.

The tribute from AVS marks the end of an era for the iconic Mexican goalkeeper, acknowledging his contributions both to the club and to the sport.

Thank you and congratulations, legend
