Edgardo Andre Obregón Hands (born 30 May 1999)) is a former American soccer player who recently played for Florida Atlantic University in NCAA Division 1.
Obregón was born on 30 May 1999, in Miami, Florida, to Mexican parents.[6] As a kid, nicknamed Gato ("Cat"), he played for and represented in friendly, youth tournaments the teams of Club America, F.C. Barcelona and A.C. Milan.[7] [8]
His designated position is attacking midfielder, the same as his reported idol, Kaká.[9]
In 2008, there were media reports that he committed to A.C. Milan,[9] although the club did not make any official announcement. In 2009, FIFA strengthened its oversight of transfers of under-age football players. All transfers of under-age players must henceforth be submitted to and approved by a sub-committee of the FIFA Players’ Status Committee, along with any applications for a minor player to be registered for the first time in a country where they are not a national.[10] [11] FIFA's toughened stance on underage players' signings was behind their April 2, 2014, decision to impose on Barcelona "a 14-month transfer ban for breaking rules on signing international players under 18," along with a fine of 450,000 Swiss Francs.[12]
