Claudio Igor Muñoz Uribe (born 21 November 1981) is a Chilean former footballer who played as a defender for Dominican club Atlántico.
Career
His last club at professional level was Fernández Vial in 2023.[1][2]
As a player of Cal South State Cup club SC MesoAmerica, Muñoz started with them on 20 March 2024 in a first-round match of the 2024 U.S. Open Cup against Irvine Zeta FC, which ended in a 0–1 loss.[3][4][5] In doing so at the age of 42 years and 4 months, he became the oldest ever player in the history of the competition, breaking the previous record set by Marcus Hahnemann in 2014.
He received retirement funds by SIFUP, the trade union of professional footballers in Chile, at the end of 2024.[2]
Muñoz rejoined Fernández Vial in January 2025.[6] After the club did not compete at the Tercera A, he moved to Liga Dominicana club Atlántico alongside his compatriots Diego López and Mauricio Arias.[7]
