Notes: * Salvador Carmona and Aarón Galindo were suspended by the Mexican Federation after the preliminary round for doping and removed from the list of players before the semi-finals. An internal sample from the association showed that the A and B samples were positive for nandrolone . The world football association FIFA does not want to punish the entire team, although both were used in the preliminary round matches, but only the two players themselves. Carmona and Galindo were each sentenced to one year in suspension.
