Club career

Ocegueda spent the bulk of his youth career in Tigres' academy. In July 2013, he was loaned to Chivas for the Apertura season,[2] but he did not play for the club's first team.

Back with Tigres, Ocegueda made his professional debut on March 13, 2014, in a Copa MX match against Puebla.

International career

Ocegueda played for the US under-20 national team in the 2013 CONCACAF U-20 Championship and the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup. Ocegueda announced he would no longer play for the U.S. after joining Chivas, who have a strict Mexican-only policy. However, Ocegueda left Chivas after just half a season when his loan to the club expired.
