Stheven Adán Robles Ruiz (born 12 November 1995), nicknamed El Pelón ("The Hairless Man"), is a Guatemalan professional footballer who plays as a midfielder or right-back for Liga Nacional club Comunicaciones and the Guatemala national team.

The place where you grow up can define what your future will be like, but that was not the case for Stheven Robles, the Comunicaciones and Guatemala national team full-back, who had to face many obstacles to get ahead.

Robles was born in Zone 18 in Guatemala City, in the Villas neighborhood, a place controlled by gangs where children run and enjoy the alleys.

Robles, the youngest of three siblings, was looked after by his mother, Sandra, who was afraid that he would be called into the gang, so everytime he went to the dirt courts, she was with him and they returned home together.

His friend Walfredo Cruz always told him: "I'm sure you'll play in one of the best teams," so he never stopped insisting that he go to tryouts with the clubs because he knew the time would come.

Walfredo always accompanied him, paid for his public transportation and food, because the Robles family had no means of traveling to distant places.
