Jon Aramburu: A young voice and a Vinotinto heart

With motivating maturity and a poise that inspires respect on and off the field, Jon Aramburu, Venezuelan full-back and Bancamiga ambassador, has established himself as a leader of the new Vinotinto team. His words resonate like an echo of a silent but powerful leadership: “This is the golden opportunity we’ve always hoped for,” and today he opens his heart to share what it means to wear the Vinotinto jersey at this crucial moment in our football history.

Just months away from two matches that could mark a turning point for Venezuela on its road to the 2026 World Cup, Aramburu acknowledges that “preparation is now individual, but everything is mental. We know what’s at stake.” Beyond the physical aspect, Jon represents the new mentality of the Venezuelan footballer who stands up to any opponent without hesitation. “Today we believe we are no less than anyone, and that changes everything.”

The evolution of the Venezuelan footballer in recent years reflects a more holistic development: it’s no longer just about innate talent, which has always existed, but rather a stronger mental structure and competitive discipline that is trained just like the physical.

“Football is a bit of everything: it’s talent and discipline, but above all, it’s mental. I think in that sense, the Venezuelan player has grown over the years, because there has always been talent in this country,” he asserts.

Qualifying for the 2026 World Cup requires more than enthusiasm; it requires impeccable tactical execution, emotional intelligence, and continuity in the game. For Aramburu, in the matches against Argentina and Colombia in September, “we have to be focused, united as a team, and stick to the plan. There will be a lot of nerves because we know what we’re playing for, but we must always stick to the plan,” because qualifiers are won with strategy, but also with conviction and cohesion.

Jon embodies the values ​​of hard work, discipline, humility, and a winning mentality

Beyond his tactical solidity and international reach, Jon has become a source of inspiration for young Venezuelans. His story is proof that talent flourishes when it is nurtured with constant work, discipline, and self-belief, reminding us that there are no limits to our dreams and that success isn’t born from perfection, but from the courage to move forward even in fear.

“On the day of my debut against Mexico, I already knew I’d be a starter, and I didn’t sleep that night. I was nervous because if I didn’t rest, I knew I wouldn’t perform. At 4 a.m., I called my dad to ask what to do, and he said, ‘Stay calm, everything’s fine, it’s just game nerves.’ I felt this was my chance and I couldn’t fail.”

On this road to the 2026 World Cup, the support of the fans isn’t just important; it’s vital. As Aramburu puts it, playing at home in a packed stadium like Maturín injects energy, elevates the team’s spirit, and becomes that drive that often makes the difference between perseverance and victory. In every cry beats the same dream shared by millions of Venezuelans.

For Bancamiga, its role as ambassador represents a bridge between football and the country that aspires to grow. Having Jon on board is a true commitment to the values ​​he embodies: hard work, discipline, humility, and a winning mentality. The pride of accompanying him, of being part of the drive that is propelling him and an entire country toward a World Cup, is shared by all who believe that sport can transform realities.

In the upcoming matches, we expect to see a tactically disciplined and physically dominant Jon, using his defensive strength to contain demanding opponents and his offensive vision to drive the team forward. His ability to read the game’s moments, close spaces, and expand the team makes him a valuable asset. But beyond the technical aspects, his presence sends a message: that Venezuelan soccer is ready, not only through talent, but through preparation. And that makes the difference.
