Danilo "Danny" Israel Acosta Martínez (born 17 November 1997) is a Honduran former professional footballer.

Club career

[edit | edit source]

After spending time with Real Salt Lake's academy in Arizona, and United Soccer League affiliate, Real Monarchs, Acosta signed a Homegrown Player contract with the club on December 29, 2015.[2]

On December 28, 2018, Acosta joined Orlando City SC on a season-long loan with an option to make the transfer permanent at the end of the season, in exchange for $75,000 of General Allocation Money.[3] Orlando declined to make the transfer permanent.[4] Acosta's contract option with Real Salt Lake was also declined, leaving him as a free agent at the end of the 2019 season.[5]

On November 25, 2019, the LA Galaxy selected Acosta for the end of year Waiver Draft.[6] He officially signed for the club on January 8, 2020.[7] On February 15 Acosta tore his ACL and missed out on the entire 2020 season. Following the 2021 season, Acosta was released by the Galaxy.[8]

On January 7, 2022, Acosta signed with USL Championship side Orange County SC ahead of their 2022 season.[9]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Acosta was selected in the United States U18 36-player training camp in October 2014, but has yet to represent the United States.[10] On January 3, 2016, Acosta was named in Tab Ramos' United States U20 January training camp.[11]

Acosta won the 2017 CONCACAF U-20 Championship with the United States, and represented the United States at the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup in South Korea.

He received his first and so far only call up to the U.S. senior national team camp in January 2018.[12]

With no senior caps to his name, Acosta remained eligible for his country of birth and was selected to represent Honduras at the 2019 Gold Cup.[13][14] Having failed to make an appearance for the team, Acosta declined to sign a letter of intent from FIFA confirming his one-time switch of allegiance to Honduras following their elimination from the competition.[15]

On June 16, 2021, the Football Federation of Honduras declared that Acosta had decided to, permanently, represent Honduras at the international level and that FIFA had, already, approved his petition.[16][17] He debuted with Honduras in a 0–0 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification tie with El Salvador on 5 September 2021.[18]
