Diogo Bagüí (born 20 March 2005) is an Ecuadorian professional footballer who plays as a central defender for Ecuadorian club Emelec.

Club career

Emelec

Born in Riobamba, Bagüí began his career in the youth academy of Emelec at the age of nine. [1] The son of Emelec legend Óscar Bagüí, Diogo quickly moved up in the clubs youth ranks, being called up to the first team due to an injury to Aníbal Leguizamón.[2] He made his debut with Emelec on 23 September 2023, appearing as a starter in a 3–1 victory over Mushuc Runa.[3]

During the 2024 season Bagüí became a starter with the club after the unexpected departure of Aníbal Leguizamón to Club Atlético Belgrano. On 22 September 2024, Bagüí scored his first goal for Emelec, the opening goal in a 3–1 victory over Técnico Universitario. [4] On 23 November 2024, he scored the equalizer in a 2–2 draw with Imbabura Sporting Club. [5]

Bagüí became firmly established as a starter with Emelec during the 2025 season, appearing in 37 matches and scoring 1 goal. After the season he left the club and received interest from various clubs in other leagues, most notably Xolos de Tijuana in Mexico.[6]

International career

Bagüí was called up to the Ecuador under-20 team for the 2025 South American U-20 Championship.[7] However, he was unable to participate in the tournament as he suffered an injury while training with Ecuador.[8]
