Jerónimo Arturo Amione Cevallos (Arabic: جيرونيمو أميوني; born 31 March 1990) is a professional footballer who plays as a forward for Mexican club Mineros de Zacatecas.
Born in Mexico, Amione is Lebanese from his father's side, and Mexican from his mother's side. He represented Mexico at youth level at the 2011 Pan American Games, winning the tournament. Amione obtained Lebanese citizenship in 2017, however FIFA didn't consider him eligible for the national team as he has already represented Mexico competitively prior to becoming Lebanese.
Club career
Amione made his senior debut for Atlante on 23 April 2010 as a substitute in a match against Estudiantes Tecos, he scored a goal in the 9 minutes he played in a 3–2 defeat.[1] He was runner up in the 2013 Copa MX, where they lost to Cruz Azul. Later that year, he joined Cruz Azul.
On 30 December 2018, Amione signed for FC Lahti in Finland on a one-year deal with a option to extend it with one further year.[2] He signed for Ascenso MX side Mineros de Zacatecas on 23 January 2020.[3]
International career
Mexico
He made appearance for Mexican Olympic team, in which Mexico captured its gold medal in 2011 Pan American Games. He also appeared in the 2012 CONCACAF Men's Olympic Qualifying Tournament, however he was not included in the final 18 squad to participate in the 2012 Olympic football tournament. Mexico later won its first ever gold medal in their history. Amione scored four goals in 11 appearances for the Olympic team.[4]
Lebanon
Due to not being further selected into the main squad of Mexico, speculation emerged that he had opted to join the Lebanese national team. There rumors were confirmed when he had accepted the offer to play for Lebanon.[5][6] However, FIFA subsequently refused the Lebanese FA's request of changing Amione's national team from Mexico to Lebanon on the basis that "at the time of his first appearance [...] for Mexico, he did not yet hold the Lebanese nationality", a prerequisite necessary for changing national teams.[7]
Personal life
Born in Mexico City, Amione is of Lebanese descent on his father's side (from the Lebanese town of Amioun) and of Mexican descent on his mother's side.[8][9] He obtained Lebanese citizenship on 14 November 2017.[7]
