Andrés Matías Fresenga Cúneo (born 13 October 1992) is a Canadian soccer player who currently plays for Team Taranaki in the Central Premier League.[2]

Early life

Fresenga was born in Toronto, Canada to Uruguayan parents from Pando in the Canelones Department.[3]

Youth career

Fresenga started playing soccer for local team Toronto Argentina at age 4[3] before moving to his parents' native Uruguay in 2007 and joining Club Nacional de Futbol and helping them win the Uruguayan U16 Championship his first year. Fresenga moved to a new club each year for the following two seasons, including a year with Danubio FC during which he won the Uruguayan U17 Championship in 2008 and a year with the U23 squad of Racing Club de Montevideo.[4]

Senior career

After one season, he joined Racing Club's First Division squad in 2010, playing through the 2013 season.[4] In January 2013, Fresenga trialed with Vancouver Whitecaps FC of Major League Soccer in his native Canada during the club's preseason as a potential successor to Young-Pyo Lee following his imminent retirement. The club made contact with Canadian Soccer Association technical director Tony Fonseca about the player's availability after his impressive displays during 2012 Olympic qualifying.[5] However, he was ultimately not signed by the club because of an injury and was eventually left without a club.[6]

On 10 January 2014, it was announced that Fresenga had joined Ottawa Fury FC of the North American Soccer League on a one-year deal.[7] The deal came about because Martin Nash, long time Whitecaps player and staff member, recommended the player to Ottawa as they assembled a roster for the club's inaugural season in the NASL following Fresenga's trial with Vancouver.[6] Fresenga made his league debut for Ottawa on 19 April 2014 against Minnesota United FC.[8] He came on as a substitute for Omar Jarun and played the final twelve minutes of the 1-2 defeat.[9] In February 2016 signed for New Zealand club Team Taranaki, who played with fellow Canadian Abdul Ibrahim.[10]

International career

Fresenga made his international debut for Canada as part of the youth squad which competed at the 2011 CONCACAF U-20 Championship in Guatemala. He was also part of the squad that finished 4th during the 2012 CONCACAF Men's Olympic Qualifying Tournament.[3] Fresenga was invited to the final training camp of 2013 and first training camp of 2014 for the senior Canadian national team in the United States and Spain respectively.[4] Fresenga is also eligible to represent the Uruguay national football team through his parents.[11]
