Argentine soccer player Lucas Trejo’s wife and two children were killed following earthquakes in Venezuela, the athlete’s club said in a statement issued June 29, 2026. The team said Trejo’s family was in the country when the quakes occurred and that it had received confirmation of their deaths.

In its statement, the club identified the victims as Trejo’s wife and their two children and said the deaths came after “powerful earthquakes” struck Venezuela, according to CBS News. The team’s statement placed the event in the La Guaira area, where the earthquakes affected communities and infrastructure, CBS reported.

CBS News, citing the club’s announcement, said Trejo’s relatives died as a result of the earthquakes. The report also noted that Trejo’s family was among those impacted during the seismic events. The club did not provide additional detail in its announcement beyond confirming the deaths.

The earthquakes in Venezuela triggered urgent concern for residents and relatives of people in the affected region, and the club’s statement emphasized its intention to inform supporters and the wider sports community promptly. Trejo’s team expressed condolences and indicated it would communicate further details as information becomes available.

Venezuela’s civil protection and disaster response authorities are typically responsible for confirming damage and casualties in earthquake events, but the club’s statement, as reported by CBS News, centered on confirming Trejo’s family members’ deaths. No additional official government confirmation is included in the CBS report summary provided to the desk.

For the soccer community, the development adds to the human impact of the disaster and raises immediate questions about match scheduling, player availability, and support for affected families, though those practical next steps were not specified in the CBS report summary. Trejo’s club has not been reported as naming a timeframe for additional operational decisions in the information supplied.

Why It Matters

  • The confirmed deaths of a professional athlete’s immediate family underline the extent of harm caused by the earthquakes in Venezuela.
  • The timing of the club’s public notice reflects the need for rapid communication during disasters affecting families abroad.
  • In earthquake aftermaths, verified casualty information often depends on coordination between local authorities and direct confirmations, as shown by the club’s role in this case.
  • The incident may affect Trejo’s near-term ability to participate and could prompt administrative decisions by the club and league, depending on competition schedules.
