Early and personal life

Mariona was born in Los Altos, California to a Salvadoran father, Rodrigo Mariona (son of Salvadoran football legend Salvador Mariona), and a Filipino mother, former tennis player Marisue Jacutin (daughter of Dicky and Suzette Jacutin). [5] He has one sister, 5-star tennis recruit Bella Jacutin-Mariona. [7] As a child, he enjoyed food, watching extreme sports (he is a fan of Travis Pastrana), and playing football, tennis, taekwondo, skateboarding and golf. [5] At age six, he played for a 7 to 8-year-old football team because of his "superior talent". [5] According to his mother, "Javier loves sinigang, nilagang baka, adobo, pancit and he’s a big rice fan! Javier completely understands Spanish and some Visayan, but answers back in English since it is the language commonly spoken at home." [5] When asked what he would do if not a footballer, she said "Javier the Monster Truck Driver". [5] At just twelve years old, he was already receiving offers from European clubs. [6]

Club career

Mariona was signed as a USL Academy player by Oakland Roots on 24 July 2021. [1] He made his debut as a late substitute in a 3–1 win against Tacoma Defiance on 29 August. He made his UPSL debut for Project 51O the next day, wearing the number 10 shirt and scoring the only goal for his side in a 1–1 draw against MCSC Jaguars. [8] [9]
