Club career

From Santa Cruz, Bolivia,[2] Suárez began his career in Oriente Petrolero in 2019, where he established himself in the first team.[3] Prior to the 2023 season, Suárez signed for Club Jorge Wilstermann.[4]

He made his debut for the Bolivia national football team on March 28, 2023, against Saudi Arabia.[9] He remained in the Bolivia squad for their March 2024 friendly matches.[10]
