Guillermo Ochoa returned to the Estadio Azteca, the stadium where he made his América debut and played his final minutes as a professional footballer.

Before América’s match against Puebla, the former goalkeeper appeared on the stadium screens and received an ovation from supporters. Ochoa came through the club’s youth system and became one of América’s most recognizable figures.

The visit ended with a personal gift from club owner Emilio Azcárraga: an América shirt bearing Ochoa’s name and the number 13, which accompanied him through much of his career. Ochoa shared the moment on social media and thanked Azcárraga for the gesture.

“There are stories that are built over time, with passion and a great deal of love for these colors. It is always a pleasure to cross paths, Emilio,” Ochoa wrote.
