Gabriel Alonso Maureira Morales (born 6 February 2007) is a Chilean football goalkeeper who currently plays for Colo-Colo.

Club career

Born in Independencia commune, Santiago de Chile, Maureira joined Colo-Colo's youth system following a mass goalkeeper trial held in November 2021.[1] After being a regular starter at every youth level of the club, he made his unofficial debut for the first team on 22 January 2026 in a friendly against Peñarol at the 2026 Río de la Plata Series, saving a penalty during the shootout.[2]

Maureira made his official debut on 19 April 2026 in a league match against Palestino, coming on in the 70th minute to replace the injured Fernando de Paul.[3][4] Following de Paul's season-ending injury, Maureira retained his place in the starting lineup and became Colo-Colo's first choice goalkeeper.[5]

International career

A member of the Chile national under-20 team since 2025,[6][7] Maureira was called up to the squad for the friendly match against Brazil on 6 June 2026.[8][9]
