Mexico coach Javier Aguirre says he will wait until June 1 to name his 23-man squad for the World Cup, which begins with a match against host South Africa in the tournament opener on June 11.

Mexico plans to open a training camp later this month for players based in Mexico. Aguirre said Thursday a squad of 23 Mexico-based players would depart in mid May for a series of matches in Europe.

He said Europe-based players would be added to that team with final squad decisions made after that.

Aguirre had said earlier he planned to name the final squad on April 10.
