Über Raúl Jiménez

Raúl Jiménez is Mexico's most reliable and experienced centre-forward — a powerful, complete striker whose physical presence, aerial ability, and clinical finishing have made him one of the most feared forwards in European football. After an extraordinary recovery from a fractured skull suffered in 2020, Jiménez returned to elite football with remarkable courage and determination. Now at Fulham, he leads Mexico's attack at what could be the final World Cup of his remarkable career.

Raúl Jiménez bei der WM 2026

For Raúl Jiménez, the 2026 World Cup is likely to be the final chapter of one of football's most extraordinary comeback stories. Having survived a fractured skull in 2020 that could have ended not just his career but his life, Jiménez has continued to perform at the highest level and lead Mexico's attack with the same clinical composure that has defined his career. At 35, he will be the elder statesman of El Tri's forward line, and his experience of three previous World Cups makes him invaluable in the dressing room as much as on the pitch. Playing on home soil — Mexico is one of the three host nations — brings a weight of national expectation that few players anywhere in the world will feel more acutely.
