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.^[1][2]

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.^[3]

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.^[4] 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.^[5]
