Ian Subiabre

Subiabre was born in Comodoro Rivadavia in the Chubut Province of Argentina to former footballer Martín Subiabre, who played for CAI and Huracán de Comodoro Rivadavia.{{cite web|url=https://www.diariocronica.com.ar/noticias/2023/04/30/80073-ian-subiabre-la-realidad-supera-la-ficcion|title=Ian Subiabre, la realidad supera la ficción|trans-title=Ian Subiabre, reality is stranger than fiction|date=30 April 2023|access-date=24 November 2023|website=diariocronica.com.ar|language=es}} His paternal grandparents are Chilean, and because of this his father earned the nickname Chile while playing.{{cite web|url=https://www.latercera.com/el-deportivo/noticia/la-historia-de-ian-subiabre-la-promesa-que-vistio-la-roja-y-ahora-brilla-con-argentina-en-el-mundial-sub-17/2GF7T3HZ65H2TOOBOBZI3F3NZ4/|title=La historia de Ian Subiabre, la promesa que vistió la Roja y ahora brilla con Argentina en el Mundial Sub 17|trans-title=The story of Ian Subiabre, the promise who wore the Red and now shines with Argentina in the Under 17 World Cup|first=Carlos|last=Tapia|date=24 November 2023|access-date=24 November 2023|website=latercera.com|language=es}}

Inheriting his passion for football from his father, Subiabre's first club was El Lobo in his native Comodoro Rivadavia, whom he joined at the age of four.{{cite web|url=https://www.cariverplate.com.ar/subiabre-disfrutando-de-un-suenio-increible|title=Subiabre: "Disfrutando de un sueño increíble"|trans-title=Subiabre: "Enjoying an incredible dream"|first=Rubén|last=Sagarzazu|access-date=24 November 2023|website=cariverplate.com.ar|language=es}} He joined the academy of his father's former club, CAI, at the age of seven, but the following year he was given the opportunity to play briefly for River Plate, the club he had supported as a child.

He would remain officially with CAI, due to the long travelling distance from Comodoro Rivadavia to Buenos Aires, though he would return to River Plate semi-regularly to feature for their youth teams.{{cite web|url=https://www.ole.com.ar/river-plate/river-subiabre-joyita-contrato-seleccion-sub-17-echeverri_0_D6bqqvWXmA.html|title=Subiabre, otra joyita de River del Sub 17 que firmará su primer contrato con una cláusula millonaria|trans-title=Subiabre, another River gem from the Sub 17 who will sign his first contract with a million-dollar clause|first=Martín|last=Blotto|date=11 April 2023|access-date=24 November 2023|website=ole.com.ar|language=es}} In August 2021, he trialled with River Plate, who offered him a contract beginning in January of the following year. He signed his first professional contract with the club in April 2023, penning a three-year deal.

In November 2023, River Plate manager Martín Demichelis stated that Subiabre, alongside teammates Agustín Ruberto and Ulises Giménez, would feature in the senior squad's pre-season preparations.{{cite web|url=https://www.elpatagonico.com/ian-subiabre-sera-promovido-la-primera-river-plate-n5881244|title=Ian Subiabre será promovido a la Primera de River Plate|trans-title=Ian Subiabre will be promoted to the First Division of River Plate|date=21 November 2023|access-date=24 November 2023|website=elpatagonico.com|language=es}}

In early 2022, Subiabre received a call-up from the Chilean under-17 side, and went on to play in one friendly matches against Colombia.{{cite web|url=https://laopinionaustral.com.ar/comodoro-rivadavia/el-futbolista-de-comodoro-rivadavia-ian-subiabre-debuto-con-la-seleccion-argentina-sub-17-563812.html|title=El futbolista de Comodoro Rivadavia, Ian Subiabre, debutó con la Selección Argentina Sub 17|trans-title=Comodoro Rivadavia footballer, Ian Subiabre, debuted with the Argentina Under 17 National Team|date=25 October 2022|access-date=24 November 2023|website=laopinionaustral.com.ar|language=es}}{{cite web|url=https://www.diariojornada.com.ar/341821/deportes/elegir_entre_argentina_y_chile_la_dificil_decision_del_joven_chubutense_ian_subiabre|title=Elegir entre Argentina y Chile: la difícil decisión del joven chubutense Ian Subiabre|trans-title=Choosing between Argentina and Chile: the difficult decision of the young man from Chubut Ian Subiabre|first=Francisco|last=Caputo|date=12 February 2023|access-date=24 November 2023|website=diariojornada.com.ar|language=es}} However, in September of the same year, he accepted a call-up from Argentina under-17 coach Pablo Aimar, and would go on to make his debut for the side at the 2022 Copa Ciudad de Ezeiza, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 4–0 win against Peru. He went on to feature in two more friendly games, against Bolivia and Venezuela, scoring his first goal against the former in a 5–1 win.

Having featured for Argentina at the 2023 South American U-17 Championship, Subiabre was again called up to the team for the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup.{{cite web|url=https://www.eldiarioweb.com/2023/09/el-comodorense-ian-subiabre-citado-nuevamente-a-la-seleccion-argentina-sub17/|title=El comodorense Ian Subiabre, citado nuevamente a la Selección Argentina Sub17|trans-title=The Comodor native Ian Subiabre, summoned again to the Argentine U17 National Team|access-date=24 November 2023|website=eldiarioweb.com|date=18 September 2023 |language=es}} In Argentina's final group game, against Poland, Subiabre scored the third goal of the game as Argentina went on to win 4–0.{{cite web|url=https://www.pastadecampeon.com/a-dos-toques/ian-subiabre--la-joya-comodorense-que-fue-figura-ante-polonia-e-ilusiona-a-argentina-en-el-mundial-sub-17_a65574f63e945c533c4ed26a7|title=Ian Subiabre, la joya comodorense que fue figura ante Polonia e ilusiona a Argentina en el Mundial Sub 17|trans-title=Ian Subiabre, the Comodorense jewel who was a figure against Poland and excites Argentina in the Under 17 World Cup|date=17 November 2023|access-date=24 November 2023|website=pastadecampeon.com|language=es}}

Subiabre describes himself as a "powerful striker and scorer", though he is often utilised as a winger, and names fellow Argentine Julián Álvarez as an inspiration on his style of play.{{cite web|url=https://lapaginamillonaria.com/riverplate/quien-es-ian-subiabre-la-joya-de-river-que-la-rompe-en-el-sub-17-20231117-LPM-32118.html|title=Quién es Ian Subiabre, la joya de River que la rompe en el Sub 17|trans-title=Who is Ian Subiabre, River's jewel that breaks it in the Sub 17|first=Juan|last=Bielak|date=17 November 2023|access-date=24 November 2023|website=lapaginamillonaria.com|language=es}}
