The 2024 MLS season begins this Wednesday, February 21. Lionel Messi, as the top figure of the American championship, debuts against Real Salt Lake.

The DRV PNK of Miami will host this commitment starting at 7 pm Honduras time. Another of the great condiments is the possible rivalry between the catrachos David Ruiz vs José Kevin Bonilla.

For this new competition, Real Salt Lake will have the Honduran right back on its roster, who was selected in the DRAFT after his outstanding participations in the U 16, 17 and 18 categories of FC Dallas, North Texas and the Portland Pilots.

The Central American, who has not hidden his love for our country on social media, has trained throughout the preseason with the colors of the “Men in Red.”

Although his contract stipulates playing in the MLS, the Honduran soccer player could enhance himself as a soccer player with the Real Monarchs of the USL, a subsidiary club of Real Salt Lake.

It should be noted that the Honduran Luis Palma, current player for Celtic of Scotland, and the striker Douglas Martínez played in this reserve team.

– WHO IS KEVIN BONILLA? –

Kevin Bonilla is the son of Honduran parents, but he was born in Dallas, Texas. He is 22 years old and his birth was September 20, 2001.

– LOVE FOR THEIR PARENTS –

Bonilla’s birth came from the love of his parents, who emigrated to the United States in 1998, after the brutal impact of Category 5 Hurricane Mitch.

José Bonilla, along with his wife Santos Zamora, left the town of Agua Fría, located about 120 kilometers southwest of the capital, Tegucigalpa.

“I would like my parents to no longer work and to be the one who brings things to the table so that they can relax after working very hard; “That is my biggest dream,” said the Catracho right back for Al Día Dallas in 2019.

On the other hand, the footballer was also taken into account by the United States Under-20 National Team in 2019. In that year he played a match, but for the Under-23 team he has not been taken into account.

Currently, the fast player has not been called up by FENAFUTH to be part of the minor teams of the Bicolor Nacional.
