LOS ANGELES, California – Guillermo Ochoa of Mexico is the winner of the 2023 Concacaf Gold Cup Best Goalkeeper Award presented by Rexona.

Ochoa was an anchor in net for El Tricolor, registering four clean sheets in six games, including all three knockout round matches to help Mexico win their ninth Gold Cup title.

Overall, Ochoa finished the tournament with nine saves.

Sunday was also a historical night for Ochoa, as he became the all-time appearances leader for Mexico players in the Gold Cup, with 25 matches played, surpassing former teammate Andres Guardado (24).

Ochoa also becomes the only man to have won five Gold Cup titles, one better than DaMarcus Beasley and Landon Donovan (4) of the United States.

It is the second time that Ochoa has claimed the Best GK Award, having done so in Mexico’s prior Gold Cup title run in 2019.
