Júnior Izaguirre is a Honduran football defender, who currently plays for Victoria after an unsuccessful campaign at Peñarol, due to an injury. He was a member of the national squad at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney.
Izaguirre won many caps for the Honduran national team around the start of the 21st century, playing regularly in central defense. He made his international debut against Canada on May 30, 2000, and received his last cap against Nicaragua on February 15, 2007. The high point of Izaguirre's international career came in the consolation match of the 2001 Copa America against Uruguay, when he scored in regulation time and hit the decisive penalty in the shootout to secure third-place honors for Honduras.
