Academy profile: Robinho Romero | OneFootball

Chivas have produced great goalkeepers, a tradition that endures to this day and that Robinho Romero represents perfectly. The Rojiblanco goalkeeper, who was recently crowned Liga MX champion with the U-21 side, was once again selected by Gabriel Milito to take part in Preseason with the First Team ahead of the 2026 Apertura and the Leagues Cup.

The story of Robinho

Ángel Robinho Romero was born on February 3, 2006, in Guadalajara, Jalisco, so his tapatío roots have kept him closely tied to the Sacred Flock from a very early age.

What has his path through the Chivas youth ranks been like?

He joined the Rojiblanca Academy at age 12, where he progressed through the U-17, U-19, and U-21 levels. Throughout his development process, he showed steady growth, establishing himself as a goalkeeper with personality and reliability between the posts.

Title with Chivas U-21

His work was recently rewarded. During the 2026 Clausura, he was crowned champion with the U-21 side, playing an important role throughout the Final Phase, where he delivered standout performances and brought security to the Rojiblanca goal on the road to the title.

Involvement with the Mexican National Team

Thanks to his outstanding performances, Romero was included in different Mexican U-17 National Team camps, a recognition of the promise and level he has shown since his early days.

Preseason with Gabriel Milito’s Chivas

The level he showed during the 2026 Clausura earned him a second call-up to take part in Preseason with the First Team under Gabriel Milito.

During this process, he had the opportunity to work alongside more experienced players, showcase himself to the Rojiblanco coaching staff, and continue his preparation to face the challenges of the upcoming semester.

As has consistently been the case in Gabriel Milito’s project and throughout Guadalajara’s history, the development, promotion, and consolidation of young Mexican talent continue to be one of the fundamental pillars of the Rojiblanca institution.
