Igor Lichnovsky Osorio (born 7 March 1994) is a Chilean professional footballer who plays as a central defender for Liga MX club Tigres UANL and the Chile national team.

Club career[edit]

Universidad de Chile[edit]

Born in Peñaflor near Santiago to an Austrian father of German and Slovak descent,[3][4][5] Lichnovsky joined Club Universidad de Chile at the age of 8. On 20 November 2011 he first appeared in the Primera División, playing the full 90 minutes in a 0–0 home draw against Club Deportivo Universidad Católica for the Clausura in which he was also voted as Player of the match.[6]

Lichnovsky scored his first goal as a professional on 29 April 2012, contributing to a 5–0 derby home win over Colo-Colo.[7]

Porto[edit]

Lichnovsky's good performances for both Universidad and the Chilean national youth teams attracted interest from English club Chelsea.[8] However, nothing came of it, and in late June 2014 he signed a four-year contract with FC Porto from Portugal, being initially assigned to the B team.[9]

Lichnovsky played his first competitive match on 17 October 2015, in a 2–0 win at Varzim S.C. in the third round of the Taça de Portugal.[10] On 22 January of the following year he was loaned to Sporting de Gijón until June,[11] making his La Liga debut on 17 February by featuring the entire 1–3 home loss against FC Barcelona.[12]

On 2 August 2016, Lichnovsky returned to Spain, joining Segunda División team Real Valladolid on another loan.[13] He scored his only goal in the country on 3 September when he opened a 2–1 home victory over Girona FC in the third minute.[14]

Mexico[edit]

On 21 June 2017, Lichnovsky moved to the third continent of his career by joining Club Necaxa.[15] He made his Liga MX debut on 24 July in a 2–0 win at C.D. Veracruz,[16] and was ever-present over the season for the team from Aguascalientes City.

Lichnovsky transferred to Cruz Azul of the same league in May 2018.[17] He scored his first goal in Mexican football the following 31 March, to secure a 2–2 draw away to C.F. Monterrey.[18]

Al Shabab[edit]

On 10 October 2020, Lichnovsky signed with Al Shabab FC of the Saudi Professional League.[19]

International career[edit]

Lichnovsky was cappedbyChileatunder-17 and under-20 levels. He participated with the latter in the 2013 South American Youth Championship, helping his team qualify to the 2013 FIFA World Cup in Turkey whilst acting as captain in both tournaments.[20][21]

Lichnovsky made his debut with the full side on 14 November 2014, playing the entire 5–0 friendly win with Venezuela at the Estadio CAPinTalcahuano.[22][23] He did not make his second appearance until 27 March 2018, in a goalless exhibition away to Denmark.[24]

Manager Reinaldo Rueda called Lichnovsky up for the 2019 Copa América in Brazil.[25] He played one match as a substitute for his competitive debut for the fourth-place finishers, as a 55th-minute replacement for Gary Medel in a 1–0 group loss against Uruguay in the Maracanã Stadium.[26]
