Alexander Charles Luis " Aly" Borromeo (born 28 June 1983) is a former footballer who played as a defender. Born in the United States, he played for the Philippines national team.
On October 15, 2011, in his first match for Kaya in the 2011 UFL Cup against Diliman, Borromeo incurred an ACL injury, which sidelined him for the club and the national team. After almost seven months, he made his return for the 2012 League season on May 12, 2012 as a substitute against Loyola Meralco Sparks, which ended a 2–2 draw. In the following match against Global F.C. on May 16, 2012, he scored an equalizer in second half injury time to end in a 1–1 draw.
He was dropped from the Kaya lineup for the 2012–13 season due to a meniscus injury, in which he acquired while training for the national team in mid-2012.
Borromeo's recurring injury since 2011 made him consider retirement but eventually recovered to return playing with Kaya. He played for Kaya at the 2016 AFC Cup and was a starter and captain for the team's first match against Kitchee from Hong Kong. He was still playing for Kaya when the club joined the Philippines Football League in 2017 as Kaya–Makati (and later as Kaya–Iloilo). His return stint to Kaya as a player was brief but he remained with the club after he was appointed as its team manager.
He also represented the Philippines at under-23 level. At the 2005 Southeast Asian Games on home soil, serving as captain, he scored in a 4–2 win against Cambodia as the Philippines failed to progress to the knockout stage.
