Gabriel Alonso Suazo Urbina (born 9 August 1997) is a Chilean professional footballer who plays as a left-back or midfielder for Ligue 1 club Toulouse and the Chile national team.

Club career

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

After nine seasons with Colo-Colo, Suazo signed for French Ligue 1 club Toulouse on 16 January 2023. He became the second Chilean footballer to play for them after Jorge Infante in the 1970s. 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.

International career

Suazo was part of the Chile under-20 squad that won the L'Alcúdia Tournament in 2015. 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.

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. He made his debut for Chile in a friendly match against Burkina Faso on 2 June 2017.

In June 2024, Suazo was named in Chile's squad for the 2024 Copa América. 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.

Personal life

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

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