Óber Yesid Almanza Sehuanes (born 10 May 2003) is a Colombian footballer who currently plays as a midfielder for Orsomarso, on loan from Watford.

Club career[edit]

Having begun his career with the Udinese Football School in Barranquilla, Almanza travelled to Italy in 2018 to trial with parent club Udinese.[2] He went on to join Udinese affiliate club Watford in England later in the same year.[3] He was loaned to Categoría Primera B side Llaneros in 2020, going on to make his debut in a 2–0 Copa Colombia away win against Atlético Huila.[3]

He was loaned to Spanish side Albacete for the 2021–22 season, featuring solely for their youth teams, where he made thirty-one appearances, scoring on seven occasions.[3][4] For the second half of the 2022 season, he was loaned to Santa Fe in the Colombian Categoría Primera A.[3] However, after a month with the club, he had still yet to make his debut.[5]

After a disappointing season with Santa Fe, in which he only played eight minutes in total, spread over three games, he was again loaned to Colombia, with Watford announcing that he had completed a loan move to Deportivo Pereira.[6] However, this move was eventually cancelled, and he joined second-division side Real Cartagena in February 2023.[7] Having failed to have an impact on the team, he was recalled and sent to Orsomarso in July 2023.[8]

International career[edit]

Almanza was called up to the Colombian under-17 side in January 2019.[3] He went on to represent the nation at under-20 level, featuring at the 2022 Maurice Revello Tournament.[1]
