Career
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.
He was an unused substitute in that game.
Helguera made his international debut with the senior team on 28 March 2009 in a 0–5 friendly lost with Cape Verde in Espargos.
