Nacho Lago Makes History as First Active Argentine Pro Footballer to Publicly Reveal Partner
In a landmark moment for Argentine sports, Colón de Santa Fe forward Nacho Lago has become the first active professional footballer in Argentina to publicly present his boyfriend.
The historic revelation unfolded on April 6, 2026, during an appearance on the program Sangre y Luto, aired by Aire de Santa Fe. During the interview, the talented attacker was surprised with an emotional video message from his partner, who praised Lago’s character and professional dedication, specifically thanking him for “defending the colors” of his city.
Visibly moved by the gesture, Lago opened up about the intensity of his personal life and his career. “It’s an irrational love; we experience it this way, just like with football,” Lago explained. “We are passionate, and we endeavor to express what we feel.”
Born in 2002, Lago has built a steady professional trajectory since starting his career in 2018 at the age of 15. Before becoming a key figure for Colón de Santa Fe in the Primera Nacional, the player developed his skills at Almirante Brown and spent time with Talleres de Córdoba and Tlaxcala Fútbol Club.
This personal milestone coincides with a strong run of form on the pitch. Lago recently cemented his status as a team leader by scoring the decisive goal in a victory over Acassuso. His powerful strike from the left wing secured three vital points for Colón, keeping the club in the upper echelon of Zona A as they push for promotion.
