Marco Libra Alvarado (born 21 March 2008) is a Venezuelan professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Serie A club Bologna and the Venezuela national team.
Libra was born in Caracas, Venezuela, and began playing football in his home country before moving to Italy to join the youth academy of Bologna in 2021. He quickly established himself in the Bologna youth ranks, and in the 2024 season, aged 16, was named captain of the club's under-17 side. His performances earned him promotion to the under-18 squad and a debut in the UEFA Youth League, in which he appeared once for a total of 81 minutes.
Libra was born in Venezuela to an Italian father and a Venezuelan mother, and chose to represent Venezuela internationally. With the Venezuela under-17 national team, he featured at the 2025 FIFA U-17 World Cup held in Qatar, playing four matches in the group stage and round of sixteen.
In May 2026, head coach Oswaldo Vizcarrondo called Libra up to the senior Venezuela squad for friendly matches against Turkey and Iraq. He made his senior debut on 6 June 2026, coming on as a substitute in the 79th minute in a 2–1 defeat to Turkey.
