The Xelajú MC box recently announced the hiring of Costa Rican striker Steven Alonso Cárdenas Vargas. The Central American arrives as the first reinforcement of the Quetzalteco team after having made A clean in its template.
Xelajú MC played a bad classification phase in the Clausura 2025 tournament, where he barely won six of 20 games, which caused it to be out of the fight for the title and without options to revalidate his crown, since he is the current champion.
After a few days of the elimination of the tournament, Xelajú shook Guatemalan football by announcing a “clean” in its template. A total of 10 players, several national and foreign, left the squad.
Among the weight names left by the superchive institution are José Calderón, Harold Cummings, Aaron Navarro and Óscar Rai Villa.
Steven Cárdenas then arrives at an Xelajú who is in the process of restructuring and with the aim of fighting again for the title of champion for the 2025 Opening Tournament, which will begin in the coming months.
In addition, the Amarini Villatoro team has an international activity in the Central American Cup 2025, so it must be re -armed with category soccer players that allow it to offer worthy representation.
Steven Cárdenas is a center striker and his last team was Sporting FC of the League of Costa Rica.
According to his profile on the Transfermarkt portal, he has played his entire career in his country and has gone through teams such as Barrio México, Greece and Sporting FC.
For now, Clausura 2025 continues its development. The semifinals are agreed to be held between May 7 and 11, while the final and matches that will define the title will be between 14 and 18.
