Jordan’s Memories of the Santos Peñoles Cup

Reflecting on his participation in the tournament, Carrillo recalled:

The skilled midfielder from Sinaloa also shared:

"At 14 years old, I played in the Santos Peñoles Cup. After going through several selection processes, I was able to move into Casa Club and officially join the Santos Laguna youth system. At first, it was tough to be away from home at such a young age, but I found the courage to push through, and over the years, I achieved my dream."

Carrillo sent an inspiring message to the next generation of Guerreros:

"My advice to all the boys and girls participating in this year’s Santos Peñoles Cup is to truly enjoy this beautiful experience. Enjoy your football, give your maximum effort, and remember that there are many scouts watching. This could be the start of your dream. But above all, have fun at every moment."
