Career

[edit]

Club

[edit]

Sánchez has played professionally with Juventud Independiente, Arcense, San Salvador, Chalatenango and Alianza in the first division in El Salvador. He scored three goals in the 2009 season for Alianza, which was good for second most on the team. In total he has played 227 games in the Salvadoran first division and scored 19 goals.

Sánchez joined the San Jose Earthquakes of Major League Soccer in 2009,[1] and scored two goals in 10 appearances with the team in his debut year. He was later released from the team on June 29, 2010.[2]

In late July 2010, Sánchez signed a one-year contract with Águila, after having spent some time with the San Jose Earthquakes of the Major League Soccer.[3] After his contract expired with Aguila, he made a move to Isidro Metapán for the Apertura 2011.

In February 2013 Sánchez signed with Kazakh team FC Vostok to play in the Kazakhstan Premier League.

Following his life ban,[4] Sánchez signed for Iraqi Premier League side Zakho FC, since the Iraqi Premier League is not being recognised by FIFA.[5] Subsequently, fellow banned teammates José Henríquez and Cristian Castillo joined Duhok SC, also in the Iraqi Premier League.

International

[edit]

In 2002 Sánchez won the gold medal with the Salvadoran U22 team in the Juegos Deportivos Centroamericanos, beating Mexico in the final.

Sánchez made his senior debut for El Salvador in a June 2003 friendly match against Honduras and had, before his life ban, earned a total of 74caps, scoring 2 goals. He represented his country in 22 FIFA World Cup qualification matches[6] and played at the 2001 UNCAF Nations Cup[7] as well as at the 2003,[8] 2007,[9] 2009[10] and 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cups.[11]

On September 20, 2013, Sánchez was one of 14 El Salvador players banned for life due to their involvement with match fixing.[4]
