Academy profile: Yohan Orozco | OneFootball

Throughout Guadalajara’s history, there has been a firm commitment to developing talent. From the Rojiblanca Academy, work is done every day to develop players with great potential, and one of the most recent examples is Yohan Orozco, who had an outstanding Clausura 2026 that opened the door for him to take part in the Apertura 2026 Preseason with the First Team.

Yohan’s story

Yohan Orozco was born on March 11, 2007, and joined the Rojiblanca Academy at a very young age, where he began a development process that allowed him to build the qualities that today make him one of the club’s most promising defenders.

What has his journey through the Rojiblanca Academy been like?

His path at Guadalajara began with the U-17 team during Apertura 2024, where from his very first matches he showed defensive solidity and personality on the field.

For Clausura 2025, he moved up to the U-19 team and, thanks to his constant development, one tournament later he was promoted to the U-21 side, where he established himself as an important player and one of the leaders of the team’s back line.

His involvement with El Tri

Orozco’s growth has also allowed him to become a regular call-up for the Mexican National Team at the U-18 and U-20 levels.

He recently played in the Revelations Cup, a tournament in which he started several matches and stood out for his defensive solidity, mobility, and ability to anticipate opposing plays.

Preseason with Gabriel Milito’s Chivas

His performances during Clausura 2026 did not go unnoticed. Ahead of Apertura 2026 and the Leagues Cup, Yohan Orozco was called up to join the First Team for Preseason, where he had the opportunity to work alongside more experienced players and showcase himself to the coaching staff led by Gabriel Milito.

The story of Yohan Orozco is yet another example of the work carried out daily at the Rojiblanca Academy. His growth reflects Guadalajara’s commitment to the training, development, and establishment of Mexican talent, one of the pillars that has distinguished the club throughout its history.
