Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Current sports transactionШаблон:Family name hatnote Шаблон:Infobox football biography Damián Nicolás Pizarro Huenuqueo (born 28 March 2005) is a Chilean footballer who plays as a forward for Colo-Colo and the Chile national team.

Club career

Pizarro began his career in the academy of Universidad de Chile, moving away from his family home to focus on his career.[1] Having scored two goals against them in a 3–3 draw at youth level, Colo-Colo youth manager Ariel Paolorossi invited Pizarro for a trial with the club, and after only ten minutes of watching him play, decided to sign him, with the forward joining the club in 2020.[2]

After Colo-Colo had sixty-two players sent to quarantine due to COVID-19, Pizarro made his debut in a 2–0 away loss to Audax Italiano on 28 October 2021.[3] Despite the loss, Pizarro's performance was lauded by Chilean media.[4][5] He would have to wait until 2023 for his next appearance with the club; with first-choice striker Leandro Benegas injured, Pizarro took his place, scoring Colo-Colo's only goal in a 3–1 loss to Cobresal on 18 March.[6]

Following good performances in his first few games for Colo-Colo, he was praised by manager Gustavo Quinteros, who said that he had "no ceiling" regarding his potential.[7] He established himself as a starter in the team, and his performances continued to draw acclaim, most notably in the 2–0 home loss to Boca Juniors in the Copa Libertadores.[8][9][10]

However, despite the bright start, Pizarro was unable to add to his goal tally for the next eight games, with manager Quinteros moving him to the right-wing during an eventual 2–1 win against Audax Italiano, allowing Carlos Palacios to take his position up front.[11] However, teammate César Fuentes came out in support of Pizarro, stating that he would "regain his confidence".[12]

International career

In May 2023, Chile national team manager Eduardo Berizzo personally attended the match between Unión Española and Colo-Colo to scout Pizarro ahead of national team friendlies against Cuba and the Dominican Republic.[13]

He was included in the final squad for the 2023 Pan American Games,[14][15] where Chile won the silver medal.[16]

In 2024, he took part in the Pre-Olympic Tournament.[17]

At senior level, he received his first call up for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay and Colombia in September 2023[18] and made his debut against Paraguay on 16 November 2023 as a starting player.[19]
