Gabriel Alonso Suazo Urbina (born 9 August 1997) is a Chilean professional footballer who plays as a left-back or midfielder and captains La Liga club Sevilla and the Chile national team.

Club career

After playing in the Colo-Colo youth teams since he was young,[1] Suazo made his first-team debut for the club on 19 July 2015 in a Copa Chile match against Deportes Concepción.[2]

After nine seasons with Colo-Colo, Suazo moved to France and signed for Ligue 1 club Toulouse on 16 January 2023.[3] He became the second Chilean footballer to play for them after Jorge Infante in the 1970s.[4] He helped his side win the Coupe de France in his first season, assisting a goal in Toulouse's 5–1 win over Nantes in the final.[5]

On 12 July 2025, Suazo joined Sevilla on a deal for three seasons.[6]

International career

Suazo was part of the Chile under-20 squad that won the L'Alcúdia Tournament in 2015.[7] He also represented the under-20 team at the 2017 South American Championship, and later played for the under-23 team at the 2019 Toulon Tournament.[8]

Suazo received his first call-up for the senior Chile national team for pre-Copa América Centenario friendly matches against Jamaica and Mexico in May 2016, though he remained unused in both games.[9] He made his debut for Chile in a friendly match against Burkina Faso on 2 June 2017.[10]

In June 2024, Suazo was named in Chile's squad for the 2024 Copa América.[11] In their final group match against Canada, he was sent off after accumulating two yellow cards within the first 30 minutes as Chile exited the tournament in the group stage.[12]

Personal life

Suazo was born and raised in Santiago. Growing up, his main idols included Gonzalo Fierro and Matías Fernández.[13]

In March 2022, he married Gabriela Rojas,[14] with whom he had been in a relationship for eight years.[15] The couple had a son born in May 2023 in France.[16]
