Club career

[edit | edit source]

Santiago Wanderers

[edit | edit source]

Cepeda started his career in the youth ranks of Santiago Wanderers. Nevertheless, he had a brief spell at the Colo-Colo academy in the Estadio Monumental David Arellano, which he abandoned due to the exhaustion generated by the constant trips between Santiago and Curauma, where, at that time, he lived[1] and the Everton de Viña del Mar youth ranks between 2013 and 2016.[2]

In 2021, Cepeda was promoted to Wanderers senior team.[3] He made his professional debut in a 2–0 defeat against Palestino in a Chilean Primera División match. After Wanderers' relegation to Primera B, Cepeda made sporadic appearances in the 2022 campaign but was named starter for the 2023 season, where the team failed to promote to the first-tier during the promotion playoffs finals with Deportes Iquique.

Colo-Colo

[edit | edit source]

On 11 February 2024, it was announced that Cepeda signed with Colo-Colo.[4] On March 31, he scored his first goal for the team in a 4–1 home win over Everton de Viña del Mar,[5] Wanderers' historic rival. Three days later, Cepeda scored his first continental goal against Paraguayan side, Cerro Porteño, for the 2024 Copa Libertadores.[6][7] His score was an agonizing goal (90' min).[8][9] Months later, on August 20, he netted a key goal against Junior de Barranquilla in a 1–2 visit victory at Colombia for the 2024 Copa Libertadores Round of 16.[10]

International career

[edit | edit source]

In 2024, Cepeda received a call from the coach, Nicolás Córdova, to play in the CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament held in Venezuela. He played three games in that competition.

At senior level, Cepeda received his first call-up for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification matches against Brazil and Colombia in October 2024.[11] He made his debut in the first match on 10 October.[12]

On 19 November 2024, Cepeda scored his first two international goals against Venezuela at the Estado Nacional in Santiago de Chile.[13]
