Edrick Eduardo Menjívar Jonhnson (born 1 March 1993) is a Honduran professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Liga Nacional club Olimpia and the Honduras national team.

Early life

A native of Roatán, Honduras, Menjívar grew up in the West End village in the northwestern side of the island. As a child, he already had an affinity for goalkeeping, and during his youth years at the Roatan Bilingual School, his peers nicknamed him "Superman", due to his high-flying saves.[1] In 2010, Menjívar left the coastal island and traveled to Tegucigalpa to attend a tryout for F.C. Motagua. Motagua's city rivals, C.D. Olimpia, learned of this and sent a club representative to persuade Menjívar to sign with Olimpia.[1]

Club career

On 22 October 2015, Menjívar made his debut for Olimpia in the CONCACAF Champions League, a 1–0 home victory against Vancouver Whitecaps FC.[2] His league debut came the following 11 November in El Clásico Nacional against Motagua, where Olimpia lost 0–1 at home.[1] Menjívar was the starting goalkeeper for Olimpia when they won the 2022 CONCACAF League. With a 5-4 aggregate victory over Alajuelense of Costa Rica in the final, Menjívar helped Olimpia became the first side to win the tournament twice, as he also featured in the first win in 2017.[3]

On 25 August 2024, Menjívar scored a dramatic late goal against Juticalpa in the league, securing a 1–1 draw in the 98th minute.[4]

International career

On 21 November 2018, Menjivar made his senior debut for the Honduras national team against Chile in a 4–1 loss.[5] In November 2023, he received two yellow cards in a single match against Mexico in the CONCACAF Nations League quarter final without receiving a red card because the second yellow card occurred in the penalty shoot-out.[6]

Menjívar briefly retired from the national team following Honduras’s draw with Costa Rica on 13 November 2025 in the last match of World Cup qualification, which eliminated both countries from the 2026 FIFA World Cup, despite starting all ten matches in the qualifying period and only conceding four goals.[7] Following the arrival of new Honduras head coach José Francisco Molina, Menjívar was convinced to reverse his decision in March 2026.[8]
