Óscar David López Raslan (born 13 August 2006)[1] is a footballer who plays as a midfielder for RCD Mallorca under-19. Born in Spain, he represents the Bolivia national team.
Early life
[edit]López was born in Alaró on the island of Mallorca. He has dual nationality with Bolivia through his mother, who is from Beni Department, and he lived in the South American country between the ages of 11 and 14.[2]
Club career
[edit]López played as a youth for Sporting Ciutat de Palma before moving to SD La Salle, where he played in the Juvenil Preferente and Juvenil Nacional in respective years. Halfway through his second season he was signed by RCD Mallorca, who loaned him to CD San Francisco.[2] In 2024, he signed his first professional contract.[3]
International career
[edit]López was first called up to the Bolivian international youth teams in 2023 after being called up by scouts. He said that it took time to adapt to the extreme altitude of the country.[3]
In November 2024, after being called up to the under-20 team, López was promoted to train with the senior national team.[3] He made his debut on 14 November 2024 in a 4–0 loss away to Ecuador in 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification, as a half-time substitute. He became the youngest RCD Mallorca player to win a senior cap, breaking the record held since 2015 by 19-year-old James Davis Boriko for Equatorial Guinea.[4]
