## Club career

[edit]

### Herediano

[edit]

Alfaro is a product of C.S. Herediano. In November 2017, Alfaro sat on the bench for the first time in Liga FPD. 18-year old Alfaro got his official debut on 10 October 2018, when goalkeeper Daniel Cambronero was sent off after 67 minutes against Limón FC.[2] Alfaro conceded no goals, although Herediano lost 3-0.[3] Alfaro also started in the following game against Municipal Grecia.

In November 2018, one and a half months after his debut, Alfaro signed a four-year contract extension with Herediano.[4] With the team already having three goalkeepers, Alfaro was loaned out to fellow league club Guadalupe in August 2019 for the rest of the year.[5][6][7]

Returning from loan in January 2020,[8] he was loaned out again, this time to Municipal Grecia for the rest of the 2019-20 season. Alfaro played only one game for the club, where he conceded five goals.

### Carmelita & USA

[edit]

In the summer 2020, Alfaro moved to A.D. Carmelita.[9][10] In October 2021, Juan Ignacio Alfaro went to the United States on scholarship at Iona College, where he would play for men's soccer team.[11]

## Personal life

[edit]

Juan Ignacio Alfaro is the son of former goalkeeper, Juan Carlos Alfaro, who played for C.S. Herediano in the 90s and played for the club in more than 15 years.[12]

In 2024, he began playing for Florida Atlantic Owls men's soccer.[13]
