🔒 Triple lock: Romántico Viajero secures its future | OneFootball

Universidad de Chile has taken a strategic step in consolidating its sports project for 2026. The club officially announced the signing of the first professional contracts for three of its young prospects: Diego Vargas, Elías Rojas, and Matías Riquelme, who have already featured for the first team this season.

Export-ready profiles and a sense of belonging

The three youth players represent the success of the development process at the CDA. Diego Vargas (19), a versatile full-back, has already logged 120 minutes in the top flight; Elías Rojas (18) stands out for his physical presence in midfield; while Matías Riquelme (18) brings technical quality and attacking vision. Manuel Mayo, sporting director, emphasized that these players have "lived" the club’s culture since the youth ranks.

Identity as the central pillar

With this move, the institution is not only rewarding performance, but also seeking to inject identity into the professional squad. The contractual protection ensures that homegrown talent will be the foundation of the blue side’s long-term planning.
