About the player
Javi Rios spent the years before October 2025 in Atlético Nacional's under-20 side. That month brought the step up to the senior squad, and by January 2026 he had his first taste of first-team football, coming off the bench for three minutes against Bucaramanga in the Primera A. On 31 January, he featured for 45 minutes in a friendly against Inter Miami.
The move up followed a run of youth honours. Rios was part of the Atlético Nacional squad that won the 2025 Copa Colombia, and at under-11 level, he won the Copa Esperanzas del Sinú with the club. He has also had a taste of international football, called up to Colombia's under-17 side for a match in March-April 2023.
Born in Itagüí, in the department of Antioquia, Rios has come through as a product of Atlético Nacional's own academy.
