Memo Ochoa Will Continue in Europe

Memo Ochoa Will Stay in Europe and Signs With Limassol in Cyprus

His Sixth Country in Europe

He Will Be AEL’s New Goalkeeper

Guillermo “Memo” Ochoa will continue his European journey by becoming the new goalkeeper of AEL Limassol in Cyprus.

The announcement was made by the club itself through a statement on social media, welcoming the Mexican goalkeeper, subject to passing medical tests.

In this way, Ochoa has found a team after several months of uncertainty during the summer transfer market, following his departure from AVS in Portugal.

His signing represents another step in a career spanning more than two decades, with appearances across several leagues in the Old Continent.

This move makes Cyprus the sixth European country where the veteran goalkeeper has played, after stints in France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Belgium.

The Cypriot club highlighted Ochoa’s career, calling him “one of the most recognizable and acclaimed goalkeepers of the modern era.”

With five World Cups played for the Mexican national team, the goalkeeper delivered memorable performances that cemented his reputation as an international reference.

AEL Limassol also emphasized the player’s experience, leadership, and personality—qualities they consider essential not only to provide security between the posts but also to inspire the younger players in the squad.

At 40 years old, Ochoa remains determined to compete at the highest level, adding another chapter to a career that has taken him to demanding leagues and historic moments with El Tri.

The Current Situation of AEL Limassol

Currently, AEL Limassol sits in seventh place in the Cypriot First Division, with three points after two matches played.

For now, the club does not have European competitions on its immediate schedule.

The arrival of a player of Ochoa’s caliber aims to strengthen both the team’s on-field performance and its international projection.

The goalkeeper, who must still pass medical tests to finalize the deal, will have the chance to contribute his experience to a team seeking to establish itself in the local league.

A New Opportunity

His presence could also draw greater media attention to a league usually far from the spotlight.

For Memo Ochoa, this move represents continuity in his European career, where he has adapted to different contexts while maintaining a high competitive level.

After being without a club following the end of his contract with AVS, he found in Cyprus a new opportunity to prove that his career still has chapters left to be written.
