Diego Alejandro Medina Roman was born on 13 January 2002 in Bolivia and developed as a right-sided defender in the domestic game. His early career was tied to Always Ready, where the combination of altitude football, continental fixtures and ambitious recruitment forced young players to mature quickly.
Medina's rise came through regular minutes as a full-back who could also defend deeper as part of a back four. He was not merely a youth prospect protected from pressure; he played in meaningful domestic and international contexts, learning to handle wide duels and the repeated running required in Bolivia's system.
As of May 2026 he is listed with CSKA 1948 in Bulgaria. That European step is important for a Bolivian defender because it exposes him to different pressing rhythms, more structured transition play and a league where athletic defending is tested every week.
For Bolivia he became a senior international during the 2020s and has been part of Copa América and World Cup qualifying squads. His role grew as the national team searched for younger, more athletic full-backs capable of supporting Miguel Terceros and Ramiro Vaca without leaving the centre-backs isolated.
Around 1.73 m and right-footed, Medina is a compact right-back with acceleration, tenacity and a practical crossing game. His profile resembles a Bolivian version of Luis Advíncula at a smaller scale: direct, energetic and most useful when he can turn defensive recoveries into immediate forward runs.
