Sergio Ramón Rochet Álvarez (born 23 March 1993) is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Campeonato Brasileiro Série A club Internacional[2] and the Uruguay national team.

Club career[edit]

Rochet started his career with Danubio with whom he made no appearances.

In April 2014, he went to trial with Dutch club AZ as they wanted a goalkeeper to serve as backup for Esteban Alvarado after the departure of Erik Heijblok.[3] On 19 May 2014, he underwent medicals.[4] Finally on 24 May 2014, he was signed by AZ for a contract until 2016.[5]

Rochet made his debut against FC Dordrecht after Alvarado was injured.[6]

Internacional[edit]

On 13 July 2023, Internacional officially announced Rochet's signing until December 2026. The Brazilian club agreed to pay a US$1.6m transfer fee to Nacional.[7] On 8 August 2023, he scored the winning penalty in the shootout against River Plate in the 2023 Copa Libertadores round of 16.

International career[edit]

On 5 March 2021, Rochet was named in Uruguay senior team's 35-man preliminary squad for 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches against Argentina and Bolivia.[8] However, CONMEBOL suspended those matches next day amid concern over the COVID-19 pandemic.[9] He made his international debut on 27 January 2022 in a 1–0 win against Paraguay.[10]
