RIO DE JANEIRO, Dec. 27 -- Former Uruguay international striker Sebastian "Loco" Abreu has set a world record by signing for his 26th professional club.

In 2024 he scored 11 goals in just 13 league appearances for Puerto Montt in Chile's second division.

The former Deportivo de La Coruna forward has been capped 70 times for Uruguay's national team, scoring 20 goals.
