Luis Alberto Suarez Diaz, commonly known as Luis Suarez, is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays as a striker for Uruguayan Primera División club Nacional and the Uruguay national team.

Suarez creates goal scoring chances with his powerful shot, and "remarkable technical ability". Known for his direct running towards goal, Suarez has a particular penchant for nutmegging opponents (putting the ball through their legs). Harry Redknapp said that Suarez could play anywhere – as the target man or behind as a second striker. Uruguay head coach Oscar Tabarez called Suarez "a great forward, an elite player among forwards in the world", and Liverpool coach Kenny Dalglish said, "he's intelligent, he's had a fantastic education at Ajax".

In his first season at Barcelona, Suarez starred in an attacking trio alongside Lionel Messi and Neymar. The trio scored a total of 122 goals that season, the most for an attacking front three in Spanish football history. In his second season at the club, Suarez won his first Pichichi Trophy as well as his second European Golden Shoe, for which, he became the first player since 2009 to win both awards other than Messi or Ronaldo.

Suarez is Uruguay's all-time leading goalscorer. At the 2010 FIFA World Cup, he played an important role in Uruguay's fourth-place finish, scoring three goals, as well as controversially blocking a goal-bound extra time header with his hands during the quarter-final against Ghana.

On 25 March 2016, after over a year of international absence for Uruguay, Suarez scored an equalizer against Brazil in Recife for a 2–2 draw in the qualification process for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Suarez was included in Uruguay's 23-man squad for the Copa Amarica Centenario, although a hamstring injury sustained in the 2016 Copa del Rey final on 22 May put his place in the team in jeopardy. Although he remained in the squad, he missed both of his national side's opening group losses to Mexico and Venezuela, which resulted in a first-round elimination from the tournament. He was once again left on the substitutes' bench in Uruguay's final 3–0 group win over Jamaica on 13 June.
