Today the Red-and-White Nation is celebrating, as RichardLedezma was born on September 6, 2000, and this Sunday he turns 26.

After building an impressive career in European soccer, ‘Richy’ arrived in Guadalajara for the 2025 Apertura to put his experience and quality at the service of the Flock. Since then, his ability to play in different areas of the field has allowed him to become an important player for Gabriel Milito’s team.

Mainly as a right wing-back, Ledezma has found a key role within the Red-and-White system. His contribution goes beyond simply covering one flank, as his reading of the game, physical presence, and ability to combine with teammates allow him to influence different areas of the field and offer the team more options.

His return to the pitch is another example of his character. After overcoming an injury that kept him out for several matchdays, ‘Richy’ returned yesterday against San Luis and enjoyed the dream comeback: he scored a goal just a few minutes after coming on as a substitute.

At 26, Richard Ledezma celebrates his birthday at a moment that reflects his journey with Guadalajara: adaptation, hard work, and resilience.

Happy birthday, ‘Richy’! The entire Red-and-White Nation wishes you a great day and much success defending our colors.
