The defending Liga MX Under-20 champions, Chivas U-20’s roster is highlighted by defenders Diego Cortés and Juan Aguayo, and midfielder Kevin Magaña, who all played for Mexico at the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup.

Goalkeeper Antonio Torres and midfielder Erich Hernandez also competed for Mexico in the 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup in United Arab Emirates. Midfielder Rubén DomÃnguez will make his second appearance in the MLS Homegrown Game after participating in 2016 as a member of Mexico’s U-20 National Team.
MLS Homegrown Team coaches Brian McBride and Mike Magee named a talented 18-man roster earlier this month, highlighted by US mens national team goalkeeper Jesse Gonzalez (FC Dallas), Canada national team midfielder Alphonso Davies (Vancouver Whitecaps) and five players who represented the U.S. at the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup.
