Julián Vicente Araujo Zúñiga (born 13 August 2001) is a professional footballer who plays as a right-back for La Liga club Las Palmas, on loan from Barcelona. Born in the United States, he represents the Mexico national team.[3]

Youth

Araujo was born in Lompoc, California, and is of Mexican descent. He attended Lompoc High School.[4] After two years at Lompoc High School, he left home and joined Barça Residency Academy in Casa Grande, Arizona in 2017.[5]

In March 2017, Araujo had committed to playing college soccer at the University of California, Santa Barbara from 2018 onward.[6]

Club career

LA Galaxy II

Araujo made his professional debut in a 2–2 draw with Seattle Sounders FC 2 on 4 October 2018, coming on as an 88th-minute substitute for Nate Shultz.[7]

LA Galaxy

On 1 March 2019, LA Galaxy acquired Araujo after trading $50,000 of Targeted Allocation Money to Colorado Rapids to gain the first spot in the Waivers Order.[8]

Araujo made 108 total appearances with the Galaxy, scoring once in the regular season and again in the playoffs. He became a regular starter beginning in 2019 and finished 2021 and 2022 as the team's defender of the year.[9]

Barcelona

On 1 February 2023, FC Barcelona and LA Galaxy agreed on a transfer for Araujo. The paperwork, however, was delivered 18 seconds late,[10] and the deal was left in limbo after FIFA rejected the transfer but the Court of Arbitration for Sport overruled.[11] Ultimately, by 17 February Araujo was transferred to Barcelona.[12]

Loan to Las Palmas

On 1 August 2023, Araujo was loaned to La Liga side Las Palmas for the entire 2023–24 season.[13][14]

On 31 October, Araujo scored his first goal with the club in a 3–0 away win against Manacor to advance in the second round of the Copa del Rey.[15]

International career

United States

Araujo was eligible to play for the United States or Mexico.[16]

After an injury to Ayo Akinola, Araujo was named to the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup squad to represent the United States under-20.[17]

Araujo was called into the United States national soccer team by Gregg Berhalter for the January 2020 camp, but did not make an official match appearance.[4] He was called up again in December 2020 for a game against El Salvador, in which he made his senior level debut.[18] Araujo was named to the final 20-player United States under-23 roster for the 2020 CONCACAF Men's Olympic Qualifying Championship in March 2021.[19]

On 18 June 2021, Araujo was named to the preliminary 59-player USMNT roster for the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup but was left off of the final roster on 1 July 2021. Berhalter cited Araujo's dual citizenship and him not feeling ready to become cap-tied to the USMNT.[20]

Mexico

On 13 August 2021, sports media in Mexico reported that Araujo himself had filed and submitted the one-time switch to FIFA in order to join Mexico.[21] As of 4 October 2021 FIFA officially approved Araujo's case.[22][23]

On 27 November 2021, Araujo was included in the Mexico national football team call-up by Gerardo Martino for a friendly match against Chile set to take place on 8 December.[24] He was given a starting berth in Mexico's 2–2 draw, playing the full 90 minutes.[25] In making his debut, Araujo became the third player in the history of the Mexico–United States rivalry in having represented both national teams alongside Martín Vásquez and Edgar Castillo.[26]

In the summer of 2023, Araujo was part of Mexico national team that reached 3rd place finish at the 2023 CONCACAF Nations League Finals and won the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
