At 17, the Club Tijuana playmaker is one of the youngest players at the tournament &mdash; and already a record-breaker for club and country. Here are the numbers and the story behind Mexico&#8217;s wonderkid. For the bigger picture, see our <a href=\"\/us\/world-cup-2026\/\">World Cup 2026<\/a> hub.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Who is Gilberto Mora?<\/h2>\n<p>Born in Tuxtla Gutierrez in October 2008, Mora is a left-footed attacking midfielder who wears the No. 10 for Liga MX side Club Tijuana. Small, technical and press-resistant, he can play centrally or drift wide, and has been fast-tracked into Mexico&#8217;s senior side despite his age.<\/p>\n\n<h2>A record-breaking teenager<\/h2>\n<p>Mora&#8217;s rise has been remarkable. In August 2024, aged 15, he became the <strong>youngest goalscorer in Liga MX history<\/strong>. In June 2025 he became the <strong>youngest player ever to make an official senior debut for Mexico<\/strong>, and he went on to start the final as Mexico won the 2025 Gold Cup &mdash; making him, by most accounts, the youngest player ever to win a senior international trophy.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Gilberto Mora at the World Cup 2026<\/h2>\n<p>Trusted on the biggest stage, Mora has featured across Mexico&#8217;s run to the last 16, starting twice &mdash; including the <a href=\"\/us\/news\/mexico-vs-ecuador-player-ratings\/\">Round-of-32 win over Ecuador<\/a> &mdash; and coming off the bench in another, completing around 88% of his passes. He is still hunting his first goal of the tournament, but simply holding down a role in the co-hosts&#8217; midfield at 17 is a statement in itself.<\/p>\n\n<h2>A wonderkid in demand<\/h2>\n<p>Unsurprisingly, Europe is watching. Mora is reported to have a release clause of around &euro;20m and has been linked with a host of major clubs, though no move has been confirmed. For now, he is focused on Mexico&#8217;s World Cup adventure on home soil.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Why Gilberto Mora is one to watch<\/h2>\n<p>Composed, creative and fearless, Mora is the brightest jewel in Mexican football and a name the world is getting to know at the World Cup 2026. Whatever happens next, the co-hosts have unearthed a special talent.<p><em>Must be 21+ and present in a state where betting is legal. Gambling problem?
