Lucas Humberto Assadi Reygadas (born 8 January 2004) is a Chilean professional footballer who plays as a forward for Chilean Primera División side Universidad de Chile and the Chile national team.
In 2011, Assadi came to Universidad de Chile and made his professional debut at the age of 17 in a 2021 Copa Chile match against San Luis de Quillota on June 27, 2021.[1]
Born in Chile, he is of Palestinian descent from his Arab surname and thus available to represent Palestine alongside his birth country Chile. It has been claimed in Iranian media that Assadi is of Iranian descent, though there is no confirmation.[2] He took part of the Chile U15 squad at the UEFA U-16 Development Tournament in Finland in April 2019.[3] and also represented Chile U15 at the 2019 South American U-15 Championship, scoring two goals. Prior to this, he represented Chile U17 at the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup,[4] making an appearance in the match against France U17.[5] In 2022, he represented Chile U20 in a friendly match against Paraguay U20[6] and against Peru U20.[7] In 2023, he made four appearances and scored one goal in the South American U20 Championship.
He represented Chile at under-23 level in a 1–0 win against Peru U23 on 31 August 2022, in the context of preparations for the 2023 Pan American Games.[8] He was included in the final squad for the games,[9] [10] where Chile won the silver medal.[11]
In 2024, he took part in the Pre-Olympic Tournament.[12]
