Armando González has received another boost after scoring his first goal for Olympiacos. The Greek club has included the Mexican forward in its registered squad for the Europa League, giving him a chance to test himself against international opposition.

Known as “Hormiga,” González joined Olympiacos during the most recent transfer window and quickly began working under Spanish coach José Luis Mendilibar. His early appearances have drawn praise from the local press for his movement, work rate and ability to create danger in the penalty area.

The Mexican forward could face Jagiellonia, Marseille, Sparta Prague, Rennes and Milan in the competition. Those matches will offer him an opportunity to show the finishing instinct that made him one of Mexico’s most promising young players and helped take him to the 2026 World Cup.

González will compete for an attacking role with players including Ayoub El Kaabi and Jota Silva. Olympiacos will open its Europa League campaign at home on Sept. 16, hoping to begin the tournament with a win.
