Lights FC Returns to Cashman Field Next Wednesday (July 14th).
July 9, 2021 (Las Vegas, NV) — Las Vegas Lights FC announced today the signing of Mexican youth international Bruce El-Mesmari, pending league and federation approval.
The 19-year-old winger signs with Las Vegas after shining in the youth system of C.F. Pachuca of Liga MX, where he was a fixture in their youth club since the age of 13. El-Mesmari helped win several trophies for Pachuca, earning a U-15 league championship, U-15 LIGA MX International tournament championship, U-17 league runner-up and U-20 league runner-up.
“Bruce embodies a lot of the principles and features we look for,” said Las Vegas Lights FC Head Coach Steve Cherundolo. “He’s already got a lot of football in him, which will really help us with the Lights.”
The Cancun native has represented Mexico at the U-20, U-17 and U-15 levels, and delivered a breakout performance as a member of the U-17 Mexican squad that lost to Brazil 2-1 in the 2019 U-17 World Cup Final. El-Mesmari appeared in eight matches, making five starts in the tournament, registering an assist in the win over the Solomon Islands in the group stages.
