Lucas Macazaga

Lucas Dionis Macazaga Ojopi is a footballer who plays as a right back for Spanish club CD Leganés B. Born in Spain, he plays for the Bolivia national team.

Club career

Born in Madrid, Spain, Macazaga began playing football aged 6 at Chimenea FC. He then played in the youth ranks of Getafe before joining Leganés at the beginning of his adolescence.

International career

Possessing dual nationality due to his parents being from Beni Department in Bolivia, Macazaga was approached by the Bolivian Football Federation, who called him up for the under-20 team's friendlies against Argentina in November 2024. Early in the new year, he played in the 2025 South American U-20 Championship.
Prior to his debut, Macazaga became a subject of discussion in his country due to a perceived physical similarity to Erling Haaland or Darwin Núñez. He said that the comparisons to the Norwegian did not put him under pressure, but instead motivated him.
In March 2025, manager Óscar Villegas called Macazaga up to the senior national team ahead of 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Peru and Uruguay. He made his debut on 14 November in a 2–0 friendly defeat away to South Korea, as a last-minute substitute.
