Lucas Dionis Macazaga Ojopi (born 17 August 2006) 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.
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.[1][2]
From 2025–26, Macazaga played for the reserve team in the fifth-tier Tercera Federación, helping the club compete for promotion with one of the best defensive records.[3] At the start of 2026, he extended his contract to June of the following year.[4]
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.[1] Early in the new year, he played in the 2025 South American U-20 Championship.[5]
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.[6] He said that the comparisons to the Norwegian did not put him under pressure, but instead motivated him.[2]
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.[7] He made his debut on 14 November in a 2–0 friendly defeat away to South Korea, as a last-minute substitute.[8]
