The rosters include Lionel Messi of Argentina, Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal and Guillermo Ochoa of Mexico, who will be competing in the World Cup for a record sixth time.<\/p>\n

Of the players in 104 matches in Canada, the United States and Mexico, 357 have competed in at least one previous World Cup while about 891 players are in the event for the first time.<\/p>\n

The rosters reflect a wide range of ages, with more than 25 years separating the oldest and youngest player. Scotland\u2019s Craig Gordon is 43 years, 162 days old. Mexico\u2019s Gilberto Mora is 17 years, 240 days old as one of 22 players in the field younger than 20. Seven players are 40 or older.<\/p>\n

According to FIFA regulations, replacements to the rosters are permitted only due to serious injury or illness up to 24 hours before a team\u2019s first match. Any exceptions must be approved by FIFA.<\/p>\n
