Armando González continues to reap the rewards of his outstanding form. After delivering an impressive Clausura 2026 campaign with Chivas, the Rojiblanco striker was named Liga MX’s Player of the Tournament, an award decided by fan voting that recognizes both his impact on the field and his consistent contributions to Guadalajara throughout the competition.
This honor adds to a period of rapid growth for “Hormiga”, who in a short time has gone from making his First Team debut to becoming one of the main attacking references of the Rebaño Sagrado.
The development of Armando González has been remarkable. During Apertura 2025, he claimed the league’s scoring title with 12 goals, and in Clausura 2026 he matched that total to finish the soccer year with 24 goals overall. In doing so, he became the Under-23 player with the most goals in a single season in Guadalajara’s history.
His ability to deliver in decisive moments, combined with his discipline and commitment both on and off the field, allowed him to remain a key piece for the club he loves and establish himself as one of the standout forwards in Mexican soccer.
The excellent form enjoyed by “Hormiga” was also rewarded with his recent debut for the Mexican National Team. Furthermore, he earned a place on Mexico’s final roster for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, a reflection of his hard work, talent, and dedication.
At 23 years old, Armando González is on the verge of fulfilling one of the greatest dreams any player can achieve. Being named Clausura 2026 Player of the Tournament is yet another sign of how far he has come and of the bright future that lies ahead, solidifying a Cantera Rojiblanca product as one of the most promising players in Mexican soccer.
