Who is Chiño? Celta Vigo new mascot

Chiño will be the new mascot for the rest of the current season.

Chiño, the Vigo-born seagull, and Celta Vigo have agreed to an arrangement for him to serve as the team’s new official mascot until the end of the current campaign.

The mascot takes over for the iconic Nocho and Celestino, Celta’s mascots from the 1990s, and signs with the Vigo club until the end of the season. He will act as an entertainer for the players and fans in all the games across all competitions.

Chiño has been welcomed by the team, which hopes that his presence will foster a feeling of belonging, a sense of identity, and, to the greatest extent feasible, a level of professionalism in his actions both on and off the field.

“He’s an opportunistic winger who stands out for his agility in unpredictable situations, a remarkable skill at stealing tapas on terraces, and great power in his shots. Honestly, I’m not entirely sure what any of that means,” declared Marco Garcés, Director of Football.

Meanwhile, on the pitch, the Spanish team are sixth in the LaLiga, enjoying an impressive campaign. Moreover, they are also competing in the Europa League this term and will be hoping to go far into the tournament.

Claudio Giráldez’s side will be aiming to secure the Champions League spot this season as they continue to fight for the top four spot alongside Real Betis, who are a point above them in fifth place.

The new mascot, Chino, will be on the pitch to cheer the team in every game and additionally entertain fans.
