Junior Flores
American soccer player
Herber Omar Mejia "Junior" Flores (born March 26, 1996) is an American soccer player who currently is a free agent.
Early life
Junior Flores was born in Los Angeles, California to Salvadoran parents, before moving to Manassas Park, Virginia when he was a child. He attended Manassas Park High School and, as a freshman, led the school to the Group A state title. During his youth, he played for the LMVSC Hawks, coached by Paul Ngend. He then went to the McLean Youth Soccer Club in McLean, Virginia. Before he was able to play for them, IMG Academy Bradenton invited Flores to join their program. After his performance in the 2011 Nike International Friendlies tournament, where the 15-year-old Flores had one assist vs. France, two assists vs. Brazil and scored the game-winning goal vs. Turkey, Flores received offers from many MLS clubs, as well as offers from abroad.

Why this record matters
“Junior Flores” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Junior, Flores and American provides the most credible route into that argument.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 13, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q18098327. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1996 and 2011.
Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
