Rogelio Funes Mori Clears FIFA Red Tape, Receives Green Light to Represent Mexico
Argentine-Born Striker Set to Boost El Tri's Attacking Prowess
Funes Mori Arrives in Mexico City to Join Pumas UNAM
Mexico City, Mexico - Argentine-born Mexican international striker Rogelio Funes Mori arrived in Mexico City on Monday to join his new club, Pumas UNAM. The 33-year-old forward has been cleared by FIFA to represent Mexico, paving the way for his inclusion in El Tri's squad.
Funes Mori, who was born in Mendoza, Argentina, has scored 5 goals in 26 appearances for Mexico since making his international debut in 2021. He has also netted 115 goals in 245 matches for Monterrey, his previous club.
Funes Mori's arrival is a significant boost to Mexico's squad, which is preparing for the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup and the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The veteran striker is known for his physical presence, aerial ability, and eye for goal.
Funes Mori is expected to make his debut for Pumas in the upcoming Clausura tournament. The Universidad Nacional team is looking to improve on its disappointing Apertura campaign, in which they finished 13th in the league standings.
Funes Mori's signing is a testament to Mexico's commitment to fielding a competitive team at the international level. His experience and goalscoring prowess will undoubtedly be valuable assets for El Tri as they aim to achieve success on the world stage.
