Alexander Nasim Succar Cañote (born 12 August 1995) is a Peruvian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Peruvian club Universitario de Deportes and the Peru national team.

International career

Born in Peru, Succar is of Lebanese descent and is eligible to be selected for the Peru national team and the Lebanon national team. He's also available to represent the United States due to his father's American nationality.

Succar made his international debut for Peru on 6 June 2017, in a friendly against Paraguay, winning 1–0.

In September 2019, Alexander and his brother Matías were contacted by the Lebanese Football Association to play for Lebanon in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification due to their Lebanese descent. However, they refused the call-up.

Personal life

Succar's paternal great grandparents immigrated to Peru from Lebanon by boat. Alexander's younger brother, Matías, is also a professional footballer.
