Ulises Adrián Giménez (born 1 January 2006) is an Argentine footballer who plays as a defender for River Plate II.
Giménez was born in José C. Paz in the Buenos Aires Province of Argentina.[1] Hailing from a footballing family, his grandfather Hugo played for Deportivo Español during their time in the Primera División, while his father Adrián played for Ferro and his uncle represented Fénix.[1]
Giménez began his career with local side San Luis, before joining another youth side named Los Latinos in 2012.[1] Later in the same year, he was invited to trial with professional side River Plate.[2] He began the trial on a Tuesday, and by the Thursday of the same week, the club offered him a place in their academy.[2] His progression through the academy was stifled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Argentina, as all footballing activity was postponed shortly after he made the jump from children's football to youth.[1]
The 2022 campaign was a very good one for Giménez; having started the year in River Plate's youth team, he was promoted to the next youth team, playing with players older than himself.[2] Having continued to impress, he was promoted again to the club's reserve team, making his debut in August.[1] In December of the same year, he trained with the first team under coach Martín Demichelis for the first time.[3]
The following month, he was included in Demichelis' squad for River Plate's pre-season tour in Orlando, Florida in the United States.[4] However, due to issues with his visa, he was unable to travel with the rest of the squad.[5] Despite this setback, he signed his first professional contract early in 2023, tying him to River Plate until December 2025.[5]
Having represented the Argentina under-17 team since 2022, Giménez was called up to the squad for the 2023 South American U-17 Championship, serving as captain as Argentina finished the competition in third place.[6]
