Alveiro Sánchez Ramírez (born 18 November 1997) is a Colombian former footballer.[2]
Club career
[edit]Born in La Tola in the Nariño Department of Colombia, Sánchez began his footballing career in the academy of former footballer Carlos Sarmiento Lora at the age of thirteen.[3][4] He later joined the academy of Deportivo Cali, initially on loan, and while progressing through the academy, he earned call-ups to the regional team of the Valle del Cauca Department.[3] In the 2013 edition of the Campeonato Nacional Interclubes, Sánchez finished as top scorer, with thirty-six goals in thirty games as Deportivo Cali won the title.[3][5]
He made his professional debut for Deportivo Cali on 10 March 2014, starting in an eventual 0–0 draw with Fortaleza C.E.I.F. in the Categoría Primera A.[3] Later in the same year, he was named in English newspaper The Guardian as one of the most promising young footballers born in 1997.[6][7]
In January 2015, he suffered a ruptured ACL injury, while ultimately stunted his development as a professional footballer.[6][8] Despite this, he signed a new contract with the club in June of the same year.[9]
In July 2016, having managed only two appearances (a total of six minutes) over the last two seasons, Sánchez was loaned to fellow Categoría Primera A side Deportivo Pasto.[10]
On his return to Deportivo Cali, he scored his first, and only, goal in professional football in a 2017 Copa Colombia game against Orsomarso.[4] He was loaned to Orsomarso the following year, managing eight Categoría Primera B appearances before a return to Deportivo Cali, where he decided to retire from professional football at the age of twenty-one.
International career
[edit]Sánchez represented Colombia at under-15 level, first being called up in January 2012 for the Mundialito Tahuichi in Bolivia, where he went on to score five goals.[3][4][11] He was called up to the Colombian under-20 side in April 2016 for a training camp.[12]
