USL San Diego Loyal

Midfielder Alejandro Guido Returns to SD Loyal

March 4, 2021 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
San Diego Loyal News Release


San Diego, CA - San Diego Loyal SC (SD Loyal) announces that midfielder Alejandro Guido, a Chula Vista native, will remain under contract for its 2021 USL Championship season, pending league and federation approval. Guido will be the first player in SD Loyal history to wear the number 10 kit, historically worn by some of the best players in the world.

"We are elated to welcome Alejandro back to our club," said Landon Donovan, EVP of Soccer Operations and Manager. "He had an immediate impact when he arrived last year and we feel extremely fortunate to have a player of his caliber at our club. He makes our team better in every way and we look forward to great things from him this season."

Midfielder Guido, 26, joined SD Loyal in September 2020 on loan from MLS club Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC). He played in five matches during SD Loyal's inaugural season, scoring two goals and adding two assists in his 300 minutes on the pitch. Guido spent his childhood playing for local soccer teams in the South Bay area of San Diego County and in Tijuana just across the border. Prior to signing with LAFC, he had stints at Club Tijuana of Liga MX and has experience at the youth international level as a standout for the U.S. at the U-17 World Cup in 2017.

"It's an honor and I am grateful to be trusted with the number 10," said Guido. "I think it comes with great responsibility and duty. To me, it means to have a strong presence on the field that is not only about providing assists or scoring goals, but also about defending and applying pressure to win the ball back for the team."

The best soccer players strive to earn the honor of carrying jersey no. 10 as it's attached to such prestige and is a sign of earned respect. The club is honored to give that famous kit number to Guido. Fans can expect to see Guido, and the entire club, back in action in March 2021 as their preseason schedule was announced along with the division breakdown back to back.

Season Ticket Memberships are on sale now for six payments of $16.50 through March 31, 2021. Seats can be purchased by calling (858) 465-GOAL or at sdloyal.com/tickets. For frequently asked questions about attending matches this season, click here.
