Leenhan Schnneiderth D'Alessan Romero Pacheco (born 1 November 2006) is a Venezuelan footballer who plays as a midfielder for Chilean side Universidad Católica.

Club career

Born in Maracay in Venezuela, Romero's family migrated to Chile in 2018.^[2] In mid-2020, his performances with youth side Católica de Quilicura at a youth tournament in La Serena, Chile caught the attention of professional side Universidad Católica, and he signed with the club following a two-week trial.^[2] Having initially faced documentation issues, he was unable to play for the club's youth teams for six months.^[3]

Two years later, at the age of fifteen, he was invited by coach Rodrigo Astudillo to train with the first team squad.^[2] He impressed then-manager Ariel Holan, with Holan saying of Romero: "he has the qualities, he is dynamic and he has very good footwork".^[4] In May 2023, he signed his first professional contract with the club.^[3]

International career

Romero was first called up to the Venezuelan under-17 team in December 2022, ahead of a friendly tournament where the side would face Argentina and Bolivia.^[5] However, due to issues with his documentation, he was unable to travel.^[3]

Having represented Venezuela at the 2023 South American U-17 Championship, he was called up again for the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup, and in Venezuela's opening game against New Zealand he scored two late goals in a 3–1 win.^[6] Following the game he stated that it was "a dream to debut in a World Cup".^[6]
