Jhon Neid Acurio Ramírez (born 18 January 2007) is an Ecuadorian footballer who plays as a forward for Ecuadorian Serie A club Barcelona de Guayaquil.

Club career

Born in Babahoyo in the Los Ríos Province of Ecuador, Acurio joined the academy of Barcelona de Guayaquil at the age of eleven.[2] He was drafted in to the Barcelona de Guayaquil first-team squad for the first time in May 2023, with manager Fabián Bustos stating that he could hopefully give Acurio and youth teammate Allen Obando minutes in the Ecuadorian Serie A.[3] He went on to make his professional debut later in the same month, coming on as a second-half substitute for Argentine Francisco Fydriszewski in a 4–1 loss to El Nacional on 29 May.[2]

Having not featured again in the season, he was called up to the first team squad to train in October 2023, following his snub from the Ecuadorian under-17 team for the Under-17 World Cup.[4]

International career

Acurio was called up to the Ecuadorian under-17 side for the 2023 South American U-17 Championship. Having won their first game of the final hexagonal, a 3–1 win against Paraguay, Acurio stated that "it was important to start winning", and that the team were "all a family" and "very united".[5]

He was a surprise omission from the Ecuador squad for the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup, with manager Diego Martínez stating that he had to "make some leaps" and "improve some things" before being in consideration for selection.[6] Moments after the squad list was announced, Acurio posted three emojis on his personal Instagram account; a laughing face, a facepalm and a clown, seemingly in response to being left out of the squad.[7]
