Born in Medellín but raised in Canada since he was just a year and a half old, Simón Martínez carries a deep passion for soccer and a strong desire to excel in the sport. Inspired by idols like James Rodríguez, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and Neymar, this young player dreams not only of shining on the field but also of one day playing for Real Madrid.
For Simón, every match is an opportunity to show his love for soccer and his commitment to his team. He admits that the hardest part is making quick decisions on the field, but he always strives to give his all and improve with each play. In Canada, the challenges are many, but his discipline and dedication have helped him stand out and earn a spot in this prestigious tournament.
What Simón misses most about Colombia is the warmth of its people, something he has found again at the Festival of Festivals. The fans, the energy of his teammates, and the thrill of representing Canada in Babyfútbol are experiences he treasures deeply.
Simón Martínez plays not only to win but to build dreams and strengthen the bond between his roots and his present. With every goal and every effort on the field, he proves that soccer knows no borders and that the passion for the sport unites hearts regardless of distance.
