Alan Soñora (born August 3, 1998) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a midfielder for Argentine Primera División club Huracán and the United States national team.

Club career

[edit]

Born in the United States, Soñora played for Boca Juniors and Independiente at youth level.[2][3] He was moved into Independiente's senior set-up in 2019–20, with manager Sebastián Beccacece selecting him on the bench five times across the Primera División and Copa Sudamericana in the early months of the campaign.[4][6] Soñora's professional debut arrived on September 26, 2019, as he came off the substitutes bench to replace Silvio Romero after sixty-six minutes of a Copa Argentina victory over Defensa y Justicia.[4][7]

Soñora joined Mexican club FC Juárez in February 2023, joining his brother Joel Soñora on the squad. After only eight appearances he left the club by mutual consent in July.[8]

International career

[edit]

Soñora is eligible for Argentina and the United States at international level, and has expressed an interest in appearing for the latter alongside his brother Joel.[5]

He made his international debut for the United States in a 2-1 friendly loss to Serbia on January 25, 2023. Soñora was named to the United States' 23-man roster for the 2023 Gold Cup. He started in a group stage match against Jamaica, and came on in substitution against Saint Kitts & Nevis.[9]

Personal life

[edit]

Soñora's brother, Joel, is also a professional soccer player.[5][10] They are the sons of Diego Soñora, who was playing in Major League Soccer at the time of their respective births.[5][10]
