Biography
Obregón, nicknamed Gato ("Cat"), has played for and represented in friendly, youth tournaments the teams of, F.C. Barcelona, Liverpool and A.C. Milan.
His designated position is attacking midfielder, the same as his reported idol, Kaká.
In 2008, there were media reports that he committed to A.C. Milan, although the club did not make any official announcement.
Between 2013 and 2014, Obregón was invited for trials by clubs in Europe but, since he could not move there without a European Union passport, he moved back to Mexico to keep playing in America.
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. 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.
He played an international tournament with Mexico in Madrid, Spain. Danone Nations Cup was the one. He played the tournament with number 6.
