Gilberto Mora birthday: Patience still a virtue as Mexico national team star turns 18

Gilberto Mora is 18 on Oct. 14, an age that many Mexican teenagers eagerly await as the night they can go out to have their first legal drink of alcohol. But Mora is not a typical Mexican teenager. There are very few youth in the country who thousands of fans pray will never try a drink, but Mora's interest in the nightlife - or lack thereof - has been a joke among fans since he burst onto the scene at the 2025 Gold Cup.
