Puebla has confirmed the signing of young prospect Pedro Vega to its Sub-17 team in Liga MX. The former Sunnyside standout, named 6A Offensive Player of the Year last season, signed with the club two weeks ago and has already made his debut in the 2026 Apertura, playing 45 minutes as a second-half substitute against FC Juárez.
Who is Pedro Vega?
Pedro Vega, hailing from Nogales, Sonora, stood out in his sophomore season at Sunnyside with 72 points in 18 games, including 29 goals and 14 assists. His most notable performance was a five-goal, two-assist game in a 7-0 win over Rincon/University. His work ethic and ability to connect with teammates made him a key player.
Why is this important for Puebla?
The club, currently 10th in Liga MX with 3 points (1W-0D-1L from 2 games), is investing in young talent to strengthen its academy. Vega is already part of the travel roster and has shown his potential in his first official match. The team looks to bounce back after its last 2-1 loss to Cruz Azul on July 22, 2026.
What’s next for Vega and Puebla?
Vega, who dreamed of playing in Mexico, now has the chance to develop in one of the most competitive youth leagues. Puebla, with a recent form of 1W-0D-2L in its last 3 games (LLW), prepares for its next match against Guadalajara Chivas on August 1, 2026, at home.
