Juan 'Jon' Remigio Cuyami Vaz (born 17 December 1972) is a former footballer who played as a forward. Born and raised in Spain to Equatorial Guinean Fang parents, he capped for the Equatorial Guinea national team.
Club career
[edit]Born in San Sebastián, Gipuzkoa, Spain, Cuyami managed ten scoreless La Liga appearances for Real Sociedad after growing in its youth system. For the next 12 years, however, his career was spent in Segunda División B or lower (with the exception of Recreativo de Huelva and Burgos CF in Segunda División, clubs which he helped promote).[1]
In 2004, Cuyami returned to the Basque Country for his final three seasons, with SD Lemona and Zarautz KE, the latter in the regional championships.[1] Shortly after, he rejoined to Real Sociedad as part of its indoor soccer team.[2]
International career
[edit]As Javier Balboa, Rodolfo Bodipo or Benjamín Zarandona, Cuyami was the son of Equatoguinean immigrants in Spain, and opted to represent his parents' nation internationally. His debut came on 11 October 2003 in a 1–0 win against Togo for the 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifiers (eventual 1–2 aggregate loss), in Bata.
Cuyami won a total of two caps, the second coming also that year in a friendly with São Tomé and Príncipe.
