Juan Mbo Ondo (born 13 September 1991), sportingly known as Helguera,[1] is an Equatoguinean football defender who plays for local club Sony de Elá Nguema as central defender.
He received his nickname as a tribute to former Real Madrid defender Iván Helguera.

Born in Ebebiyín, Kié-Ntem, Helguera emigrated to the capital Malabo, on Bioko Island. He initially played for Atlético Malabo and, after a few years, he was transferred to local league giants Sony de Elá Nguema.
