TFox Sports in the US announced the deal for the 2026 World Cup via social media. Javier Hernández will not be on the pitch with the Mexican national team, but will be attending the World Cup with a television station.
Chicharito will take to the microphone to analyze the world’s top sporting competition after his controversial exit from Chivas in Liga MX.
Will Javier Hernández retire from soccer before the 2026 World Cup?
The Mexican player has not yet found a club where he can continue playing, but he has not announced his retirement and plans to work on television in the neighboring country for the time being.
What was Chicharito Hernandez’s departure from Chivas like?
It must be remembered that it was only last December that the striker left Mexican football after his second spell in Guadalajara. Despite arriving with high expectations and sentimental illusions, Hernandez managed to end his relationship with the club in the worst possible way.
Controversies, poor performances, poor attitude and criticism were the factors that ended the adventure of the Guadalajara club and its historic player, ending its history in Mexico.
Hernández Balcázar’s farewell came after he missed a penalty in the second leg of the quarter-finals of the 2025 Apertura against Cruz Azul. The mistake cost the team a penalty in the final moments of the game at the Estadio Olimpico Universitario. The striker himself described this moment as “the most painful” of his career as a footballer.
