The selection is limited to players under the age of 23, except for the Olympic Games which allows the men's team up to three overage players. The team is controlled by the Mexican Football Federation (FMF), the governing body of football in Mexico.

Since 1992, the under-23 team has participated in five Olympic tournaments, winning the gold medal in 2012.[1]

gollark: For most stuff I just have RSS feeds instead of email, which works better.

gollark: I used to get those, but realized I didn't particularly care and turned them off.

gollark: Well, one time it decided to start sending me emails about mentions in servers because my phone was not connected to Discord or something, and as (technically) a bot developer they bother me about that.

gollark: I check my spam box sometimes and there generally isn't even any actual spam in there, just emails from services which I don't particularly care about (like Discord's random bothering about things).

gollark: I've never actually ended up with spam problems, so maybe I would feel different if I *had*?
