Ochoa, who has also spent time at the Real Monarchs and Real Salt Lake, was born in California, but his parents are Mexican. His ancestry allowed him to request, in 2021, a one-time switch to be eligible for Mexico’s national team after having participated for the United States at youth level in some tournaments.
