    Left fullback= Defensor izquierdo or fullback izquierdo

    Center fullback/sweeper= Defensor or simply 'fullback'

    Sometimes we do use the English names as well :)

    Soccer Positions In Spanish

  • 1 decade ago

    Just like in English...soccer positions also have a couple of different names. here are a few different than one already named. I am from Mexico so they might differ a bit.

    center forward= delantero central

    center fullback = defensa central

    right or left fullback = defensa lateral

    usually though you can get away with just knowing:

    forward = delantero

    midfielder = medio (mediocampista)

    defenders= defensa

    than you can just specify

    center = central

    left = izquierda

    right= derecha

    hope I wasn't too long winded.
